A New Day for Health Care


Health insurance companies too often take an adversarial stance with their contracted physicians, establishing impediments that make it difficult for doctors to care for their patients. In the end, these unproductive relationships benefit no one.


ESSENCE takes a different approach that releases physicians from a tiring and unsatisfying cycle of running in place. Our business model is unlike any other in the country because it provides the funding and tools necessary for primary care doctors to provide highly coordinated, proactive health care. By establishing trusted relationships with leading physicians in the local community, and by empowering them to do what they do best, we believe that health care quality will be improved and costs will be lowered.


The ESSENCE Model at a Glance


  • Partner with progressive medical groups and physician organizations to establish, design and locally manage a Medicare Advantage health plan in their own communities.
  • Provide the most generous health care benefits to members at the lowest out-of-pocket costs in every community we serve.
  • Properly align financial incentives, affording our physician partners the time and funds necessary to spend more time with patients, allowing them to focus on the long-lasting health of their patients.
  • Empower physicians to make the most appropriate care decisions for their patients.
  • Proactively share clinical and financial data, revenue and risk with our physician partners.
  • Help our physician partners to economically and successfully leverage technology to control costs, improve income and provide outstanding patient care.

We have worked with local physician organizations to establish and operate successful Medicare Advantage health plans in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Washington. We are expanding into additional states based on the foundation of success we and our physician partners have already experienced.
