What Is Frontier Health?

A DPC and Cash centric program for self-insured employers

How is it different?

Frontier shares the risk with the employer. When employers spend more, Frontier loses money.

When employers save money, Frontier makes money. Frontier Health looks and feels the same as the BUCA but yields different results for everyone involved.

The beautiful thing about Frontier is that you can get the care in a way that works best for you. Your provider can see you in person, but you can also do a virtual call or even send a text message. It’s just so easy.”

Sam V.

Frontier Member

I feel important at Frontier because the staff and my provider make me feel like a person, not a number."

Joann B.

Frontier Member

I went to Frontier for a CT scan and I mentioned my vision concerns to my provider who referred me to a specialist. I was then contacted by the Frontier Direct Pay team member who did all the work to find an affordable specialist for me. She was in touch with me to get the information needed for the surgery. They handled it all so I could see better!”

Jorge R.

Frontier Member

We have an older group of employees, so we are always concerned about cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Because Frontier is accessible, our employees can get the care they need before something happens…If you want happier employees, Frontier is one way to make that happen. I would say to all small businesses, you can afford it.”

Scott V.

Local Small Business President & Frontier Member

As an employer sponsored plan, it is important to find partners that are 100% aligned with your same goals. My goals are to reduce costs (for both patient and employer) and also keep people healthy. We want a healthier workforce and satisfied employees. We chose Frontier as our partner for healthcare because they share the same goals.”

Frontier has been a game changer to the medical industry! Talk about efficiency, no waiting for hours and the staff knows you by name. Great service and care!”

I love my appointments at Frontier. I know if I have any doubts or questions, my provider will explain and explore different options with me, specifically addressing my concerns.”
