Trustmark Health Benefits Partners with Grand Rounds Health to Bring Best-In-Class Healthcare Navigation to its Clients and their Members

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Rounds Health today announced that it is partnering with Trustmark Health Benefits to support Trustmark Health Benefits' self-funded clients and their members as they navigate complexities within the healthcare system. Trustmark Health Benefits, a national employee health benefits administrator, can now offer additional personalized healthcare support to optimize health outcomes, network discounts and services, costs, and member experience via The Trustmark Navigation and Advocacy service powered by Grand Rounds Health.

"Our collaboration takes the complexity out of healthcare by providing personalized, high-quality, and cost-effective support for Trustmark Health Benefits clients and their members throughout their healthcare journeys in one simple, integrated offering," said Robin Glass, President of Grand Rounds Health and Doctor On Demand.

Without proper guidance, a complex care journey can quickly escalate to unnecessary procedures, high healthcare costs, confusion, and uncertainty for patients. Trustmark Health Benefits can now offer to its clients and their members the ability to leverage Grand Rounds Health's wraparound clinical navigation and advocacy capabilities across a full spectrum of healthcare needs. Through the Trustmark Navigation and Advocacy service powered by Grand Rounds Health, Trustmark Health Benefits clients and their members can access a complete suite of claims and member services support, along with healthcare navigation offerings all in one place, including treatment decision support, personalized matching to top-quality in-network healthcare providers, expert opinions from world-class experts, cost transparency, and intelligent routing to other benefits in the healthcare ecosystem.

"We have worked with Grand Rounds Health for years and have experienced exceptional results after adopting their expert medical opinion service as a benefit for our own employees," said Nancy Eckrich, President of Trustmark Health Benefits. "We are excited to expand our relationship by offering the expert medical opinion service, along with Grand Rounds Health's complete healthcare navigation capabilities, to our clients and their members to simplify personal care plans and help improve people's overall health."

After offering Grand Rounds Health's expert medical opinion service for several years, Trustmark experienced a positive return on investment; 75% of its expert medical opinion cases resulted in a change of diagnosis or treatment, typically leading to a more cost-effective, medically appropriate or less-invasive treatment path. Now, Trustmark Health Benefits will offer that expert medical opinion solution to its clients and their members through The Trustmark Navigation and Advocacy service powered by Grand Rounds Health in addition to the full healthcare navigation offering.
