Healthcare is your second largest cost after payroll. The NY FMMA chapter helps employers stop overpaying and contract directly with the providers their employees actually use.
One transparent transaction at a time. Fortune 100 companies like Walmart treat health benefits like procurement. Now smaller employers can too.
Chat with UsYour organization is spending more on healthcare than it needs to. Direct contracting with providers gives you transparent pricing and turns your largest uncontrolled cost into a strategic advantage. Let us show you how.
Fortune 100 companies like Walmart have long treated health benefits like procurement, negotiating directly with providers. This approach is now being adopted by smaller employers in a way that turns health benefits from a liability into an asset.
Partner directly with the physicians and facilities your employees use most. Transparent, bundled prices. No network markup. No surprise bills.
Insurance networks artificially inflate prices to sell manufactured discounts. Direct contracting captures those savings for you and your employees instead.
Employers who harness their market power attract better talent, reduce turnover, and convert healthcare from an uncontrollable liability into a competitive advantage.

Chat with Us to Learn MoreHealthcare is your second largest cost driver after payroll. Most employers know surprisingly little about it. The FMMA NY chapter is here to change that.
Employers who treat health benefits like procurement, with the same rigor as any major vendor contract, consistently achieve 25-50% lower per-employee costs than those who simply renew the same plan each year.
Self-funded plans give employers direct visibility into what healthcare actually costs. When you fund the claims directly, you stop paying insurance company margins and start buying care at real prices.
Studies show 80% of medical bills contain errors, and most employers never audit them. Payment integrity programs identify overbilling and ensure you only pay for care that was actually delivered correctly.
Employers are increasingly being held accountable for their fiduciary responsibility to provide fair health benefits. Being educated is your best protection. Knowing the landscape helps you avoid costly landmines before they surface.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act expanded employer obligations around benefit transparency and reporting. The question is no longer whether to engage, but how soon.
NY Senate Bill S9952 aims to cap payments for routine outpatient services at 150% of Medicare. Hospital consolidation has pushed routine care costs through the roof. Site neutrality brings them back to earth.
Read S9952 at NYSenate.gov ↗Deals like the 32BJ-Northwell Direct partnership and SUNY Downstate's work with Mishe are proof that the direct contracting model works at scale in New York. The infrastructure is already here.
Three core principles that make healthcare work like every other part of the free market.
Comprehensive, up-front, bundled prices for every procedure are publicly published and 100% patient-agnostic. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Patients and employers can compare providers and arrive at a value that works. Price is not the product. Care is the product.
Providers and purchasers agree on a procedure, a mutually beneficial price, and up-front payment. No collections. No surprise bills.
Anyone who believes the free market can, and should, work in healthcare has a place here.
Employers and patients who want to make purchasing decisions based on real cost and quality, not manufactured insurance discounts.
TPAs, health shares, and businesses who connect buyers and providers while abiding by the Free Market Pillars.
Physicians and providers who believe in up-front, bundled prices and building direct relationships with the patients and employers they serve.
