DocFirst is a progressive health care plan that gives employees freedom to choose their doctor and to build a healthy, long term relationship with that physician. Once the relationship is established, we give the provider the professional freedom to manage the patient’s care. DocFirst care management actively seeks better outcomes for the at risk member population through sophisticated risk management and patient advocacy.

It is a common sense approach to health care creating positive incentives for the patient to always start with and stay in touch with his or her family doctor.

DocFirst differs from traditional managed health care, some highlights include:

• It works the same for all employees in all locations
• It can reduce the cost of care by decreasing the need for hospitalization, the incidence of catastrophic care and the use of the emergency room
• It maintains complete freedom of choice for the patient and physician
• It emphasizes prevention and early management of disease
• It focuses special resources on patients having difficulty
• It has core objectives which can be measured
• Serving Fortune 500 companies
• Integrated technology delivering excellent plan performance
• Dedicated Customer Care Unit

Custom Designed Plans – The DocFirst philosophy can be tailored in certain situations to meet your unique needs. In some instances community resources such as Physician Hospital Organizations or other existing relationships may require a different approach.
