For employers

The most important decision your employees face is who treats them.

Proximal guides them to top-ranked specialists in your network when it matters most, and helps offset the out-of-pocket cost. Better care for your people, lower downstream cost, and nothing about your plan changes.

What is Proximal?

Proximal is a supplemental benefit, built around specialist selection.

When one of your people faces a serious illness or potential hospitalization, they have to find a specialist and cover the out-of-pocket cost, often after hard news. Proximal helps with both. First, we guide them to top-ranked in-network specialists for their specific condition. Second, we provide a supplemental benefit they can claim to help offset out-of-pocket costs.

Top-ranked specialists, matched to a member's specific condition.

A supplemental cash benefit for certain hospitalizations and illnesses.

Compatible with any network, plan design, carrier, or funding type.

Focused on specialty care

The hardest moments for your people are the biggest moments for your plan.

A small number of serious illnesses and hospitalizations drive 60% of plan spend and 75% of annual trend. And every employee facing a serious illness or a hospitalization has to find a specialist to care for them.

That's why we focus on helping your people find top-ranked specialists who can improve outcomes for the member and for your plan.

It fits the plan you have, and the one you move to next.

Proximal is a supplemental benefit, so it sits alongside the coverage you've already placed instead of replacing it. Any network, any plan design, including HSAs, any carrier or TPA.

And because it adds on rather than locking in, you have the flexibility to change carriers, networks, plan designs, or funding types as your needs evolve. You add value now without disrupting the current plan or your future flexibility.
