Rewire healthcare so everyone wins
Vibrant’s founder, Allison Robbins, knows from years of industry leadership experience what it is like to be on the front lines of our completely broken healthcare purchasing model.
Employers and consumers struggle with lack of transparency about performance and costs. Members cannot afford their healthcare. Providers fight to deliver high quality care while managing costs and plummeting collections from frustrated consumers.
In this current system, everyone loses.
And the cracks are becoming wider every day. For employers, medical costs are unsustainable. For consumers, medical bankruptcies are skyrocketing. And roughly 3 in 10 health-care workers have weighed leaving their profession. (Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation).
That’s why we are on an urgent mission to rewire our broken healthcare system. Leading the movement to the new cash-driven economy, we’ve assembled a team of passionate leaders in healthcare to address many of the issues that have kept other approaches from succeeding.
At the core of our innovative approach is our purpose-built, cash-based healthcare operating system, designed to deliver better results, better costs and a better experience. We’re powering healthcare innovators of all kinds—employers, providers, direct healthcare, benefits consultants and insurance carriers—for the new cash-driven healthcare economy.
It’s time to rewire healthcare so everyone wins.

rewiring healthcare:
a case study in vibrant’s better way
Let’s see how Vibrant works for James, who needed both knees replaced.
James didn’t have Vibrant for his left knee replacement, and his experience was very poor. Surgical complications, an extended hospital stay, lengthy recovery and increased costs for both his employer and James. Nothing went well. To make things worse, when James’s costs were too much, his accounts went into collections.
Fortunately, James was able to use Vibrant for his right knee replacement. His care director helped him select an exceptional provider in the top 3% of performance quality. And, James was able to reduce his costs by using Vibrant to pay upfront. This time, there were faster and better results, better costs and better outcomes for James, his employer and his providers:

what employers are saying
“In our highly competitive market, we had to deliver a more innovative healthcare option for employees. Vibrant’s unique system stands out, because it helps us do what no one else is doing in healthcare–bring costs down while providing access to the best providers in our area.”
— VP, Employee Benefits at Mid-market Company
“We’d been searching high and low for a better healthcare option. We wanted to give employees the high quality of care they deserve, but at an affordable cost. Vibrant has given us the power to deliver both. Everyone wins.”
— CHRO at Fortune 500 Company
“Our premiums have been going up at 10-15% every year, for years. The status quo was just not sustainable. We couldn’t afford to shift any more costs to employees. Vibrant gave us the leverage to get rid of waste, lower costs AND deliver high quality care.”
