OUR STRATEGY
AGGREGATE
Our collective buying power enables us to solidify significant cost savings for trust funds and city agencies alike. The Union Alliance “demands” better pricing and/or vetted, high quality providers for our members in exchange for the volume of Union member patients. TUA works diligently, as your advocate, to push back against inflated billing trends.
NAVIGATE
With a vast network of provider options we are better able to connect patients with the right provider at the right time. We continually comb the market to increase member access to cost-effective choices that improve their quality of care. This means improved access to preventative and behavioral healthcare as well as outpatient alternatives.
FACILITATE
At a time when many employers are facing increased administrative burdens, dealing with dozens of different vendors, subcontractors, and other partners across their employee health offerings, we are proud to provide access to best-in-class solutions, all through one single partner group. TUA is the “easy button” as the single point of access and provider of solutions to meet all the unique health needs of an employer and their workforce.
EDUCATE
Vital to our success is our member education process. We provide thorough and ongoing support to ensure that every member is actively taking advantage of the benefits available to them through The Union Alliance. With increased awareness and participation, we can maximize cost-savings and drive better outcomes for member patients. Our team works directly with your organization to provide onboarding education and marketing materials and to ensure our mutual success.
