HealthPro to Open Headquarters in Indy

HealthPro originated as a service within an established network of on-site and near-site primary care clinics in late 2013. After just one year, a team of referral coordinators facilitated thousands of referrals connecting patients to providers based on what mattered to them most. A growing captive member enrollment and the need for a centralized referral service to enhance the patient experience drove the efforts to create HealthPro.

"Indianapolis is becoming a magnet for top talent, and innovative businesses are paying attention to our strong workforce," said Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. "I am pleased to welcome HealthPro to the growing list of companies that are selecting Indy as a place to establish their headquarters and expand their operations."

Employers currently partnering with HealthPro have lowered their healthcare expenses by incentivizing employees to use the most cost-effective options for diagnostic and specialized care. Unlike existing transparency tools, the company has formed partnerships with healthcare providers and specialists to obtain the most accurate demographic and pricing information.

"HealthPro is not just about saving consumers and employers money - it's about the greater impact that can be made on healthcare by establishing a marketplace that makes everyone accountable," HealthPro President Chad Ashcraft said. "This starts with helping people become smarter consumers who are more conscious about how and where they spend their healthcare dollars. The results we have driven over the last year have proven that when you empower the patient and provider with more clarity and control, you ultimately see everyone become more accountable for their decisions."

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered HealthPro, LLC up to $1,750,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is ineligible to claim incentives.

"HealthPro is the latest firm in the healthcare industry to start here in Indiana," Eric Doden, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation said. "And now with its decision to make Indiana its headquarters, we see mounting evidence that this is the best possible state in the nation for innovative companies to reach their potential with the help of a dedicated workforce and a great business climate. Companies like HealthPro understand that you won't find a better home for success than Indiana."

Employers that partner with HealthPro to provide the additional benefit to their employees pay a monthly per employee fee to access the services. These services include a dedicated team of HealthPro coordinators, exclusive direct rates, bundled pricing for common surgical procedures and an incentive rewards program for employees. HealthPro is available to businesses of all sizes. Businesses interested in partnering with HealthPro may visit www.yourhealthpro.com to learn more.
