What You Should Know:
–Premise Health, the largest direct healthcare company serving large employers and unions, and Centivo, the pioneering healthcare company dedicated to making high-quality healthcare more affordable for employers and their employees, today announced that they are launching a new, primary care-focused health plan that combines Premise’s onsite health centers with Centivo’s clinically integrated network.
– This new collaboration and health plan is not just an alternative option but a paradigm shift in delivering and paying for care. With this plan, members can get the highest quality primary care right where they work and then seamlessly access a network of coordinated specialists who know their needs.
Transforming Healthcare Access and Affordability
Premise Health is redefining healthcare delivery by providing seamless access to high-quality care while lowering costs for employers and employees. As the leading direct healthcare company and one of the largest digital providers in the U.S., Premise Health partners with commercial and municipal employers, health plans, unions, and tribes, serving millions of members across more than 800 wellness centers in 46 states and Guam. Its mission is to help individuals achieve and maintain well-being through accessible, affordable, and comprehensive care.
By prioritizing exceptional healthcare experiences, Premise Health delivers:

· Cost transparency and affordability – Eliminating complex billing processes and providing clear, predictable healthcare costs.
· Comprehensive care coordination – Enhancing efficiency through integrated provider collaboration and guiding patients through the healthcare system.
The rising cost of healthcare necessitates innovative solutions. According to the Business Group on Health’s 2025 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey, nearly 15% of employers adopted non-traditional medical plans in 2025, with expectations for increased adoption in 2026. This shift highlights the demand for new benefits models like those introduced by Premise Health and Centivo, designed to help employers optimize their healthcare strategies.
The financial burden of healthcare has escalated significantly, with insurance premiums increasing by nearly 50% over the past decade. This trend is unsustainable for employers and employees alike. Premise Health, in collaboration with Centivo, has demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating high-quality primary care with innovative health plan designs. In pilot programs with two large employers, this approach has successfully improved health outcomes while reducing costs for both employees and organizations.
As healthcare costs continue to rise, Premise Health remains committed to expanding its model, providing organizations with smarter, more sustainable benefits solutions that prioritize both affordability and quality care.
