Purchasing Guide for Selecting an On-Site or Near-Site Health Center Manager

14 June 23 | Joe VanDeGraaff and Ruirui Sun

In response to the high and variable costs of local health care providers and the challenges associated with finding timely access to quality care, many employers (public and private) and unions are offering health centers on-site, near-site, or shared with nearby companies to better address the health care needs of covered employees and their dependents. This report is a collaborative effort by KLAS Research and the National Association of Worksite Health Centers (NAWHC) aimed at offering guidance on the essential factors to consider when selecting a vendor to manage a worksite center. This guidance is applicable even when a third-party agency, such as a broker, is involved in the process. Best practices below come from KLAS and NAWHC research, including insights from employers and unions who have implemented health centers.

Over time, care management vendors have developed new functionalities that have allowed payer organizations to move beyond traditional use cases (e.g., case management and utilization management) into emerging use cases (e.g., behavioral health, automated prior authorization). Care management solutions are in an already low-performing market with persistent integration and functionality challenges, and with these emerging use cases, customers have a renewed need for strong engagement and support from vendors. This report examines which vendors are providing strong customer relationships, delivering innovative product functionality, and facilitating adoption and long-term customer loyalty.

Self-insured employers looking to reduce costs and improve employees’ health often turn to services firms to set up and manage on-site or near-site clinics. This vendor guide is intended to provide a simple starting point for employers investigating employer-sponsored healthcare services. The guide focuses on firms that (1) provide primary care and other related services, including telehealth, behavioral health, and wellness centers, (2) operate across multiple US regions, and (3) are not owned or operated by healthcare organizations. All such firms known to KLAS as of November 2022 are included in this guide.
