10%. 12%. 19%. Even 37%. Those are the denial rates being reported by legacy health plans — in-network. That means nearly 1 in 5 patients are being told “no” when they need care most. At Sidecar Health, our clinical denial rate last year? 0.3%. We believe doctors should decide what’s medically necessary — not insurers. And no one should have to fight for the care their doctor already recommended. High denial rates aren’t just numbers — they’re barriers to care. Thanks Slice of Healthcare and Jared S. Taylor for the discussion.
According to Business Group on Health, as health costs spiral, nearly 25% of employers plan to try alternative health plans in 2026, and 36% are considering it. This isn’t just another cost-cutting move — it’s a signal. Forward‑looking employers are exploring new frameworks to sustain benefits and support health outcomes amid escalating financial strain. If you're looking, we’d love to explore how Sidecar Health's innovative benefit design can deliver care that’s both accessible and sustainable. https://lnkd.in/gEuaq4_3
When Americans relocate to Italy, South Korea, or France for healthcare, it’s more than an individual choice — it’s a system failure. No one should have to weigh bankruptcy against surgery. Stories like these remind us: affordability and access aren’t just policy issues, they’re basic human needs. https://lnkd.in/g3kUQtW8
Headed to #HRFlorida in Orlando next week? Sidecar Health will be there at booth 724! We’ll have free professional headshots for attendees, great conversations, and Jason Delimitros will have a killer session on the hidden tax of denial rates on Tuesday at 2:45 pm. See you there!
A $50 fee to ask your doctor a question? This is what happens when patients aren’t told what care costs before they get it. Opaque pricing. Surprise bills. Frustrated patients. We can — and should — expect better from the system. https://lnkd.in/gu9tN_XH #Healthcare #Transparency #NoSurprises

Great piece from Sidecar Health's market president Jason Delimitros
Jason Delimitros spent decades inside the operations and network strategy teams at major insurers. In his latest piece for Employee Benefit News, he shares what he saw on the inside — and why it’s not working. From narrow networks to step therapy, the system is optimized for the wrong things. Smarter design is possible but starts with rethinking what we’re optimizing for. Link to the piece in the comments:
