Healthcare Solution Design
Every Manifest engagement covers the same ground: find the right providers, build the strategies to connect them with your employees, and stay engaged to ensure success. How you activate those strategies depends on your organization's unique needs.
High-value care comes from organizations that deliver the right care in the right setting at a fair price, and that want employers to see it. They range from independent practices and freestanding centers to hospitals. Finding them takes knowing what high value looks like for each service and understanding the local market. Manifest brings both, starting with deep roots in Michigan and applying the same approach in every market we enter. We engage these organizations directly to build your Provider Collective, tailored to your market. It combines existing high-value, in-network providers with targeted partners when needed.
Think of it like “hacking” your network to pull the highest value providers to the top of your employees’ minds when they need care.
Having the right providers in your Collective does not move the needle alone. Manifest works with you and your benefits agency to design strategies to connect employees with those providers. Three progressive approaches: start with one, build from there.
Most employees aren't aware of their options. Manifest arms you with the materials and communication framework to change that: provider spotlights, moment-of-need reminders, and clear guidance built around your specific Collective.
When employees have a financial reason to choose a provider from your Collective, utilization follows. Manifest provides you and your benefits agency the provider intelligence and strategic guidance to build a benefit layer that makes the right choice the financially obvious one, without changing your carrier or disrupting your existing plan.
For employers who want to take on greater control over costs and outcomes, the Manifest Provider Collective includes additional partners beyond those in your plan's network, such as direct primary care practices and onsite care providers. These organizations can augment your plan's network to act as an active front door to care. Manifest connects you with the right ones, and we oversee the ongoing relationship to ensure alignment with your plan objectives.
Manifest does not hand off and disappear. We stay engaged over time, serving as a coordination point between you and your Manifest Provider Collective, checking in on how the relationships and strategies are performing, and keeping you informed as the Manifest Provider Collective evolves.
This includes a structured mid-year review to evaluate provider relationships, surface any coordination needs, and identify where adjustments make sense. The goal is to catch issues early and help you respond before they show up at renewal.
Are employees choosing the right providers? Where is the program gaining traction and where are the gaps?
How is allowed spend trending relative to baseline? What is the program delivering financially?
Are employees who use your Collective providers having a good experience? Are they coming back?
Where should we focus next to move the needle: member education, benefit design, or provider relationships?
Every market has provider organizations that do certain things exceptionally well, from a freestanding imaging center to a hospital's surgical or maternity program. Employers and their benefits agencies rarely see it, and patients don't always think of them first. Manifest gives these organizations a direct way to show their value to the employers looking for it, and builds the programs that connect employees to them.
Employees get higher-value care, and providers get to do more of what they do best.
Whether you're an employer looking to take more control of your healthcare dollars, a provider organization interested in working more closely with employers, or a benefits agency exploring what the Manifest Provider Collective can do for your clients, we'd like to hear from you.
Tell us who you are and what you're trying to solve. We'll take it from there.
