Clinical Review & Second Opinions
Helping validate recommended care and explore appropriate alternatives when needed.
TPAs
TPAs are increasingly expected to help employer clients manage healthcare costs while ensuring members have access to timely, appropriate care.
Hinkapin Health works alongside your existing teams to provide focused support for one of the most complex and variable areas of healthcare spend - surgery.
Our role is to strengthen your offering, not replace it.
Many TPAs already have experienced case managers, care coordinators and utilization teams.
Hinkapin complements those resources by adding specialized surgical support - from clinical review and second opinions to site-of-care guidance, bundled pricing and coordination through recovery.
Your team can remain at the center of the member and client relationship while Hinkapin provides additional surgical expertise behind the scenes.
When Hinkapin becomes involved in a surgical case, we can help coordinate the journey from referral through recovery. This can include:
Helping validate recommended care and explore appropriate alternatives when needed.
Identifying suitable physicians, ambulatory surgery centers, Centers of Excellence and other appropriate facilities based on the patient's needs.
Establishing clear pricing where possible to give the TPA and employer greater visibility into expected surgical costs.
Supporting appropriate preoperative preparation, scheduling and coordination through postoperative follow-up.
Every employer group is different. Some may benefit from comprehensive surgical navigation, while others may need support only for selected procedures, high-cost cases, bundled pricing, second opinions or access to Centers of Excellence.
Hinkapin works under the TPA's direction and can adapt its involvement to the needs of individual employer groups.
The right level of support for each client, within the model you already manage.
Hinkapin works behind the scenes to help TPAs deliver greater value to their employer clients.
Better navigation, appropriate site-of-care decisions and greater cost visibility can help TPAs demonstrate a more proactive approach to managing high-cost surgical episodes while maintaining ownership of the client relationship.
