People first. Care always.

At Homestead, members get easy access to care, real human support, proactive education, and fierce advocacy, so they never have to navigate healthcare alone. Our approach is proactive, human, and proven, built from years of direct member feedback. Through thoughtful education, personal advocacy, and intuitive digital tools, we ensure that employees feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Concierge Member Services

Your employees deserve a team that knows them and understands their plan, not a generic call center. Our onshore Concierge Member Services team provides personal, proactive support from day one.
With a single call, members can:
  • Understand their benefits and coverage
  • Get help with bills, claims, or provider questions
  • Receive step-by-step guidance when seeking care
  • Request provider outreach and assistance on their behalf

We meet members where they are, help them make informed choices, and solve issues before they become problems.

Education & Engagement

Education and engagement aren’t “nice to have”, they’re the foundation of RBP success. Reference-based pricing works best when members understand how their plan works and why it benefits them. When employees feel informed and supported, they trust the plan, avoid confusion at the point of care, and confidently use their benefits the right way.

We’ve spent years refining a proven, multi-touch education process to 
prepare employees well before their plan starts. It’s simple, clear, and built 
to remove uncertainty.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do you minimize disruption when moving from a PPO plan to RBP?

Education and early engagement are key. By preparing employees weeks in advance, guiding provider verification, and ensuring every member understands how to use their ID card and where to go for help, transitions are smoother, and provider issues are dramatically reduced.

What support do you provide once the plan is live?

Members have 24/7 digital tools plus ongoing access to live advocates who assist with claims, providers, bills, and care guidance. We actively monitor issues and proactively reach out when additional support is needed.

How do you ensure employees understand how an RBP plan works?

We use a proven, multi-touch education process—live sessions, on-demand materials, direct mail, emails, and hands-on provider assistance—to prepare employees before day one. This reduces confusion, builds trust, and ensures confident use of the plan from the start.

How do you help members find the right providers – or keep their current ones?

Members can submit a simple Provider Assistance Form for any doctor they want to see. Our team verifies acceptance, educates the provider, and performs outreach when needed. We also help identify RBP-friendly providers to avoid disruption.

What happens if a member is confused about a bill or has trouble at the point of care?

One call to our on-shore Concierge Member Services team solves it. We explain the bill, contact the provider directly, and handle any issues so the member doesn’t have to. Our advocates stay with the case until it’s resolved
