Visana Health Joins Aligned Marketplace Network to Expand Women's Health Access for Fortune 500 Employers
Partnership brings comprehensive value-based women's health care to self-funded employers through Aligned Marketplace's advanced primary care marketplace model, including Fortune 500 organizations like 7-Eleven.
Visana Health, a virtual-first comprehensive women's health clinic, has joined Aligned Marketplace. Through this partnership, women employees at participating Fortune 500 organizations gain access to comprehensive, outcomes-based medical care delivered under Aligned Marketplace's value-based payment model.
Women comprise nearly half the U.S. workforce. Yet rising healthcare costs and persistent economic pressures too often force working women with complex, high-cost conditions to choose between the care they need and the care they can afford. Menopausal women, for example, typically face 50% higher total costs of care than the average population, a gap that erodes both health outcomes and financial security.
The Visana Health partnership addresses this gap directly. By joining Aligned Marketplace, Visana Health gains the payment flexibility to deliver whole-person medical care from menstruation to menopause—including health coaching, nutrition support, and care coordination—services rarely reimbursed under traditional fee-for-service arrangements.
Visana Health has already demonstrated a 4-to-1 return on investment for health plan and employer partners through its value-based care model. Employers working with Aligned Marketplace benefit from better clinical outcomes, lower total healthcare costs, and employees with more accessible, dignified care.
"The employers who work with us are forward-thinking organizations who consistently seek innovative ways to enhance the wellbeing of their employees," said Patrick Nelli, founder and CEO, Aligned Marketplace.
"Women's health has historically been underserved by traditional healthcare models. By adding Visana Health to our network, we're enabling employers to offer comprehensive care that improves health outcomes for women at various life stages while reducing overall healthcare costs."
"Aligned Marketplace's innovative payment model allows Visana Health to provide value-added services that aren't typically reimbursed in fee-for-service arrangements. Under the value-based construct, Visana Health's clinical team can deliver better outcomes for the women we serve while reducing the total cost of care for self-funded employers."— Joe Connolly, Co-Founder and CEO, Visana Health
Founded in 2023, Aligned Marketplace operates as an Advanced Primary Care Marketplace connecting self-insured employers with independent, advanced primary care providers operating outside traditional hospital systems. The model rests on three core principles: enabling employers to access a curated network of high-quality doctors and specialists; paying those providers on an outcomes-based basis rather than volume; and building accountability into the system through data and active management.
Visana Health's addition expands the marketplace to address a critical care gap. Most primary care and women's health services remain fragmented, expensive, or both. Visana's whole-person approach—treating not just reproductive health but the full spectrum of women's health conditions from early adulthood through menopause and beyond—delivers better clinical outcomes and measurably reduces employer spending.
