Surgical Navigation
Coordinating records, consultations, appointments and the different stages of the surgical journey.
Captives
Specialized Surgical Support. Built Around Your Existing Model.
Captives are built around strong relationships with employer groups and healthcare partners. Hinkapin Health works within that existing structure, providing specialized surgical navigation and cost-management support when members are facing surgery or other high-cost procedures.
Our role is simple: strengthen what you already have, not replace it.
An Extension of Your Existing Team
Many captives already work with experienced case managers, care coordinators, TPAs and other healthcare partners. Hinkapin complements those resources by stepping in where specialized surgical expertise and navigation are needed.
We can work alongside your existing team to provide clinical review, second opinions when appropriate, physician and facility guidance, risk optimization, bundled pricing and coordination through recovery.
Your team remains in control. Hinkapin provides the additional surgical support.
Flexible by Design
Every captive and every employer group within it is different.
Some may want Hinkapin involved from the initial surgical referral. Others may prefer their existing team to manage the member relationship and bring Hinkapin in only when specialized surgical support is required.
We adapt our involvement to the needs of the captive and its employer groups rather than asking everyone to fit into one standard model.
You determine where Hinkapin fits. We work within that framework.
Specialized Support From Referral to Recovery
When Hinkapin becomes involved in a case, we can provide:
Clinical Review & Second Opinions
Helping validate recommended care and providing additional specialist review when appropriate.
Risk Assessment & Preoperative Optimization
Identifying factors that may affect surgery or recovery and coordinating appropriate preparation before the procedure.
Physician & Site-of-Care Guidance
Helping identify suitable physicians and facilities based on the procedure, individual patient needs, quality and cost.
Transparent Bundled Pricing
Establishing clear pricing where possible, bringing agreed-upon surgical costs together to provide greater visibility before the procedure.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Supporting the member beyond surgery and helping coordinate appropriate follow-up through recovery.
Keeping the Captive Relationship Central
Hinkapin works behind the scenes to help captives strengthen the value they deliver to their employer groups.
By bringing specialized attention to high-cost surgical episodes, we help support better-informed care decisions, greater cost predictability and a more coordinated experience for members while the captive retains ownership of its employer relationships.
Hinkapin can work alongside:
Case Managers
Care Coordinators
TPAs
Benefits Teams
Employer Groups
Existing Provider Relationships
Centers of Excellence
The model can also support regional or national surgical needs based on the captive's requirements.
