The Right Care at a Clear and Reasonable Price.
Healthcare pricing shouldn't come as a surprise.
Hinkapin Health helps patients and employers understand the expected cost of surgical care before the procedure whenever possible.
But transparency isn't simply about knowing the price. Before we look at what care costs, we first look at whether it is the right care for the patient.
Right Care Comes First.
Our approach considers the different decisions that can shape both the quality and cost of a surgical episode.
The Right Diagnosis
Understanding the patient's condition and what may be causing the problem.
The Right Treatment
Surgery isn't necessarily the right next step for every patient referred for a procedure.
The Right Specialist
Connecting the patient with a physician who has appropriate training and experience for the condition and procedure.
The Right Site of Care
When clinically appropriate, an ambulatory surgery center may provide an alternative to a hospital setting.
Then Comes a Clearer Picture of Cost.
Whenever possible, Hinkapin arranges a clear, predetermined bundled price so the patient and employer can better understand the expected cost before care is delivered.
For many procedures, bundled pricing can bring the major components of the surgical episode together into one transparent price.
Care Doesn't End with the Procedure.
Appropriate follow-up and recovery are also part of the surgical journey.
When needed, Hinkapin helps coordinate postoperative follow-up and recovery needs. And when there is uncertainty about the recommended procedure, a second opinion can be coordinated before the patient moves forward.
Not Simply the Lowest Price. The Right Value.
Our goal isn't to find the cheapest place to have surgery. It's to bring together appropriate care, experienced physicians, suitable facilities and transparent pricing, helping patients receive the care they need while giving employers greater visibility into surgical costs.
