CARE THAT BENDS THE TREND

Advanced primary care is the path to better outcomes

Our value-based approach brings health plans and employers measurable savings from the start—lower claims, fewer ER visits, and less specialty spend. Your clients get the outcomes they expect, and you get the data to prove it.

Our clinical accountability model ensures that every referral is appropriate and matched to each member's plan and network. Members are steered to higher-quality, lower-cost care before they ever leave the health center.

Advanced primary care is built to manage risk—and we're willing to share in it. As an independent partner, we align incentives on both sides, so every stakeholder comes out ahead.

Same-day and next-day appointments, longer visits, and proactive outreach ensure that members get the time and attention they deserve. Members are more satisfied, trusting, and committed to their health as a result.

    I would tell other companies that are not currently providing advanced primary care that it has been the best investment we have made for our employees. We have seen great improvements in overall health because of that easy direct access to services.

    Our healthcare costs were spiraling out of control. We’ve now moved from sick care to health care, reducing our healthcare spend from $15.7 million to $10 million!

PRIMARY CARE THAT FEELS DIFFERENT

Trust between patients and providers changes everything

  • When I came to Marathon, I felt like my concerns were heard…three serious conditions were diagnosed that would not have been discovered had I been somewhere else.

    Sue

    Marathon Health Patient

  • I’m on an hour schedule for physicals and 30 minutes for visits. I’m able to address multiple concerns. There is no limit to what we can talk about, and we get through everything the patient needs.

    Kathleen

    Marathon Health Provider

  • The providers are very personable. They really take the time to listen to your concerns and make sure you’re fully taken care of before pushing you back into normal life again.

    Carl

    Marathon Health Patient

  • Advanced primary care is where the patient takes the lead…it’s more of a partnership than a dictatorship, almost like concierge medicine where we really roll out the red carpet.

    Adam

    Marathon Health Provider

  • You can just go to the clinic without waiting months for a primary care appointment. They took such good care of me and really saw me as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms.

    Lynette

    Marathon Health Patient

  • The big difference here is that it's not, ‘how many patients can you see today?’; it’s ‘how much can you do for each patient who walks through the door?’ We’re focused on caring for the whole patient.
