Gold Brokers, It’s the Information You Need Now

April 22, 2024
Geisinger Gold

Geisinger becomes the inaugural member of Risant Health

With full regulatory approval complete, Risant Health, Geisinger, and Kaiser Permanente can work together to advance and expand value-based care to more patients, members, employers and communities.

Geisinger will maintain its name and mission and Geisinger patients will continue to access care as they do today. Geisinger will continue to accept non-Geisinger health coverage for its care, operate its health plan, partner with non-Geisinger provider organizations, and work with non-employed physicians, as it does today. And Geisinger’s 600,000 health plan members will continue to receive coverage from Geisinger Health Plan as they do today.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your broker support team.

Thank you for trusting Geisinger with your clients’ health plan needs.
