Homestead Smart Health Plans was founded by healthcare industry professionals committed to solving one of the biggest challenges facing employers today: rising healthcare costs paired with decreasing coverage value. By leveraging a Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) model, Homestead helps self-funded employers gain greater control over healthcare spending while improving transparency for employees.
The Homestead Smart Plan integrates claims repricing technology, stop-loss protection, and third-party administration into a unified solution designed to simplify plan management and reduce unnecessary costs. In addition to pricing transparency, Homestead emphasizes member advocacy, provider outreach, and balance bill protection to help create a more positive healthcare experience for employees and their families.
Through innovative technology and hands-on support, Homestead aims to deliver a more sustainable and effective healthcare model for modern organizations.
