"That is really the only thing you heard: Zero out of pocket. They can focus on getting well." If your employer offers Direct Care Alliance and you choose it, you don't pay anything for that episode. No deductible. No coinsurance. No bill three weeks later. David Balat, Board Chairman, Direct Care Alliance. Texas House Select Committee on Health Care Affordability, September 1st.

She had stage four breast cancer, and she was going to stop treatment. Not because it wasn't working. Because she couldn't afford the deductible and the out-of-pocket max.

It's the facility, the surgeon, the anesthesia, the imaging, the pathology and the follow up. Direct Care Alliance prices all of it up front. David Balat calls it a point solution that sits next to whatever benefit the employer already has. Texas House Select Committee on Health Care Affordability, September 1st.

"Why did the health care have to cost a million dollars in the first place? And how can we make the experience better for the person going through the care that they need?" Direct Care Alliance works on both of those before the procedure instead of after. The price is agreed with the facility up front, the employer commits in advance, and a navigator stays with the patient the whole way. David Balat, Board Chairman, Direct Care Alliance.
