Your employees don't need more portals or another point solution. They need one team that connects their care and carries the burden of the system. That's what we give them — free during the pilot.
Your benefits stack works in isolation. Your carrier or PEO gives you no real visibility into where healthcare spend is going. Your employees navigate six to eight portals, and when care actually gets hard, they're on their own. Each piece works on its own — and nothing improves, because nothing is coordinated.
It isn't about in-network vs. out-of-network. It's about whether anyone is connecting the dots — or whether that job has quietly fallen to your employees.
A better model isn't a richer network — it's a coordinated one. One platform, one primary care relationship, and one team that owns the member's journey from the first question to the follow-up after a hospital stay.
Every piece exists somewhere already. The integration is what doesn't — and it's what makes coordinated care real instead of a slogan.
Different architecture, not better features. Every piece exists elsewhere — the integration does not.
A broad PPO permits care anywhere and coordinates none of it — so members pick specialists blind and often land on the most expensive option. A Sandbar primary care relationship steers referrals to the right, cost-effective specialists at the right time. That's the behavior that bends utilization — and utilization, not the rate card, is where cost actually moves.
When the plan owns the calls, the referrals, and the follow-ups, your people stop being their own case managers. Fewer dead ends for them, and fewer escalations landing on your HR team.
Most groups your size have no usable data on where their healthcare spend is going. Coordinated care puts utilization and cost signals in the same place your employees actually get care.
In a DMV market where benefits parity is the price of competing for talent, a named primary care doctor and a team that handles the hard parts is something people notice — and keep using long after the offer is signed.
Sandbar is offering a small group of DMV employers a free pilot. It runs alongside your current plan — no carrier change, no payroll work, no premium impact.
"A free, modern, coordinated healthcare experience for your employees — with room to grow into more over time."
The pilot is the care-delivery half. The other half is the payer: Sandbar is built as a payvider — one entity that both delivers care and, over time, pays for it through an integrated plan. That's how coordinated care eventually bends total cost, not just improves the experience.
Concierge primary care and coordinated navigation for your employees — free during the pilot.
A level-funded, integrated plan builds on that same foundation — with the visibility and cost control today's stack can't give you.
The care comes first; the plan follows from it.
Bring Sandbar to the broker who manages your benefits — they can scope pilot timing and confirm fit for your business. Prefer to reach us directly? joe@sandbarhealth.com, or visit our contact page.
Built in the DMV. Funded for the build. Worth a conversation.
