Premise Health

Premise Health is a direct healthcare provider that delivers advanced primary care to members of sponsoring organizations through onsite, nearsite, and digital channels. Its offering combines comprehensive primary care, integrated mental health, pharmacy services, data-driven condition management, and concierge care navigation and referrals, spanning more than 30 types of care in total.

The company describes itself as the leading direct healthcare company in the United States, operating 800 wellness centers across 46 states and Guam and serving millions of members on behalf of more than 400 employer, union, and health plan partners. Its stated value proposition is improved population health alongside reduced total healthcare spending for client organizations, supported by a claims-based analysis covering 207,000 eligible lives at 26 organizations whose methodology it says was validated by the actuarial firm Milliman.

Business model

Premise Health contracts with sponsoring organizations — employers, unions and labor groups, and health plans — to operate health centers and deliver care to their employees, members, families, and retirees, positioning the arrangement as a way for those organizations to lower total cost of care.

Traction

Millions of members and more than 400 employer, union, and health plan partners served from 800 wellness centers; a claims-based study of 207,000 eligible lives across 26 organizations reported 30% average total cost of care savings, a 52% reduction in inpatient hospital admissions, a 17% reduction in emergency room visits, and a 20% increase in routine, preventive, and mental health office visits.
