The plan features superior PPO discounts of up to 75 percent off billed charges through EHN Orlando, best-in-class benefits administration by HealthSmart, the country's premier third-party administrator, and comprehensive stop loss coverage to protect health plans from catastrophic claims through Florida-based Elan Re.

"Orlando SmartCare is a perfect example of how HealthSmart approaches our organizational mission of reducing costs for plan sponsors and treating members with dignity and respect," said Phil Christianson, HealthSmart's CEO. "This program demonstrates an innovative partnership approach to help self-funded plan sponsors in central Florida control their health benefit costs by providing deeply discounted access to the Orlando Health network while providing members with convenient access to top-quality hospitals, clinics and physicians throughout the area."
