Qualcomm and Scripps Health have established a strategic alliance to provide new custom health plan options to Qualcomm's San Diego-based employees and eligible dependents beginning in 2018.
Through the Scripps Premier custom plan options, the San Diego-based health system will offer Qualcomm employees and their families healthcare services centered around quality of care; enhanced electronic scheduling and messaging with medical professionals; concierge-level navigation, scheduling and billing support; minimal wait times for appointments with primary care physicians and specialists; and published prices for frequently used services.
Qualcomm is the first San Diego employer to contract with Scripps ACO to create a custom plan offering for employees and dependents.
"Building on our patient-centered approach and physician-led accountable care model, Scripps is well-positioned to work with Qualcomm to provide its employees and their families with exceptional care and an outstanding experience at a great value," Chris Van Gorder, Scripps president and CEO, said in a statement. "We are honored to be selected for the this first-of-its-kind model in San Diego and look forward to the collaboration that will not only benefit Qualcomm, but the entire San Diego community."
Scripps and Qualcomm will work together to achieve shared goals and improve health plan design through regular joint reviews of costs, quality indicators and patient feedback.
