Parkview Health news release:<\/p>\n

Parkview Health highlights strong performance in state\u2019s first review of direct-to-employer arrangements<\/strong>
\nParkview\u2019s direct-to-employer rates fall well below statutory benchmark, supporting affordable care for employers and patients<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 27, 2026) \u2013 Parkview Health today highlighted its performance in the Indiana Department of Health\u2019s inaugural Direct-to-Employer (DTE) Healthcare Arrangement Plan Review for 2025, underscoring its ongoing focus on providing high-quality care at the best cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New Indiana law requires nonprofit hospitals to demonstrate that their direct-to-employer plans remain at or below 260% of Medicare rates. Parkview DTE rates were dramatically lower than the state mandate at 203% of Medicare, and significantly lower than any other non-profit system operating in Fort Wayne. Parkview\u2019s DTE program, Parkview Employer Solutions, offers employers savings of more than 25% compared to commercial insurance networks, with plans priced well below the national average<\/a> for hospital care, per the Kaiser Family Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to see that Parkview\u2019s direct-to-employer offerings significantly outperformed Indiana\u2019s benchmark while continuing to deliver the access, experience and outcomes employers expect for their teams,\u201d said Dr. Jason Row, president of Parkview Physicians Group, and chief value transformation officer at Parkview Health. \u201cEmployers want clarity and stability. Our goal is to help them manage their healthcare spend responsibly without compromising quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parkview Employer Solutions currently serves more than 65,000 employees and their families, with more than 4,800 employers locally and nationwide. The team brings together six integrated services to strengthen the financial health of employers and the physical and mental well-being of the people who power them. Services include:<\/p>\n
