OneBridge Benefits
Health benefit costs are out of control. Year-over-year costs are unpredictably increasing—with no end in sight. Even worse, this ever-increasing benefit spend doesn’t give each employee the tailor-fit health coverage they deserve.
At OneBridge Benefits, we’re changing this.
With our defined benefit model (a funded individual coverage HRA), you’re in control of how much you give each employee, and each employee chooses how to spend their benefit dollars in a way that best fits their unique situation. The average employee has over 50 plans to choose from and a one-to-one health insurance guide to walk them through their decision. Any unused funds are retained by the employee in perpetuity and can be used to cover future qualified medical expenses—including long-term care, Medicare premiums, and dental or vision plans. Employees are giving this new benefit an average 9/10 satisfaction rating in post-enrollment surveys and employers throughout NYS are working with OneBridge to upgrade their benefits package.

Patriot International Group, LLC
If you have spent any time in the healthcare industry, it is not lost on you that insurance companies maintain a business model intended to place as many barriers between you and the receipt of fair and reasonable reimbursement. Having an infinite number of hurdles at their disposal, carriers know that practices will regularly either “throw in the towel” on possible collection or simply forget to diligently follow-up. Consequently, most practices and providers are saddled with ever-increasing aged receivables that are never secured (i.e., they just sit on the practice’s books). This is precisely where Patriot International can be of immense assistance.
Made up of legal and industry professionals, in tandem with tech experts, Patriot International can bring decades of experience to your practice or organization. With this expertise, Patriot International uses an analytical approach to excel in aged receivable collections. Its legal and industry professionals analyze carriers’ policies and applicable law, using the same in legal arguments to force carriers to stop their game-playing and remit payment. The tech experts at Patriot International build in automated efficiencies into the aged revenue cycle process, ensuring that deadlines are timely met, patterns are observed, and plan terms and conditions are taken into account.
This unique combined approach is unlike that of any other company in the industry and sure to result in increased revenue and profits.
