Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Premiums: KelseyCare generates revenue through employer-paid health insurance premiums. Employers add KelseyCare as a plan option alongside existing PPO or HDHP plans. Premiums are collected through carrier partners (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare) and the coordinated care model helps reduce total medical costs, improving plan economics.
