Savvos created the nation's largest marketplace of affordable cash prices for elective outpatient care, including imaging, surgery, labs, and more. Our solution redefines the healthcare experience of patients, payors, and providers by connecting all participants in the healthcare decision to create bundled pricing in real time, simplifyscheduling, secure payor approval, and guarantee immediate cash payment™.Savvos eliminates the need for health plans to develop networks or direct contracts for elective outpatient care by making immediate cash payment the future of mainstream healthcare. Savvos members know the cost when scheduling care, and providers are paid immediately; this unique combination reduces medical costs up to 90% compared to traditional networks or legacy billing practices. The implementation of immediate cash payment solutions within health plans has resulted in a drastic cost reduction compared to billed charges, contracted rates, direct contracts, and allowable amounts for elective outpatient care.
