Adventist Health advances access to care through expanded partnership with MDsave

Adventist Health, a nonprofit integrated health system serving more than 80 communities on the West Coast, has announced a systemwide expansion with MDsave, the nation’s leading online medical service platform connecting providers, employers, and patients to transparent, transactable, and affordable healthcare.

This expanded partnership will accelerate Adventist Health’s direct-to-employer strategy using MDsave’s proprietary platform and workflows, allowing Adventist Health to offer innovative benefits integration and strategic cost savings to area employers.

"Our expanded partnership with MDsave reflects Adventist Health's commitment to increasing patient access to quality care in each community we serve," said John Beaman, Chief Financial Officer for Adventist Health. "As we expand our direct-to-employer offerings, MDsave will help us remove many of the financial hurdles patients face in scheduling the procedures they need to live healthier lives."

This partnership will expand on the successful pilot launched in 2022 with Adventist Health's Simi Valley location, which helped thousands of patients and providers. By utilizing MDsave's provider and consumer-facing solutions, Simi Valley was able to improve the patient experience and streamline provider payments.

“I am proud of the success we’ve had in the last year by piloting MDsave to help patients afford their out-of-pocket costs through predictable, upfront pricing,” said Cory Ferrier, Business Development Executive for Adventist Health Simi Valley.

"We are excited to partner with Adventist Health, a leader in healthcare innovation, to bring a new solution to employers while delivering a seamless payment process to providers that encompasses fully bundled medical procedures," said Charlie Byrge, Chief Operating Officer for MDsave. "We believe that MDsave is the perfect fit for Adventist Health in their efforts to improve the patient experience and work directly with companies seeking diverse solutions to manage healthcare costs."

MDsave's unique ability to deliver shoppable, all-inclusive healthcare pricing helps consumers take the financial guesswork out of their healthcare while enhancing Adventist Health's ability to diversify and increase the number of patients it serves.
