BROOKLYN, N.Y., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mishe (say "mish-e"), an
innovator in direct healthcare, announces the launch of Downstate's
Transparent Access Plan, making SUNY Downstate Health Sciences
University the first hospital system in the US to offer transparent
upfront pricing for its comprehensive suite of inpatient and
outpatient healthcare services.
University Hospital at Downstate becomes
1st hospital to offer all services for purchase at transparent
discount prices
"We're helping healthcare transcend from estimates to real
prices," said Sidney Haitoff, Mishe's CEO. "Our solutions empower
providers and payers to compliantly offer transparent prices so
patients can confidently access care. We're thrilled to partner
with University Hospital at Downstate and University Physicians of
Brooklyn to become the source of
truth for real pricing across the care continuum."
Mishe's direct care administration platform powers public and
private health plans of all shapes and sizes, rewiring the revenue
cycle to enable same-day payment for providers and unlock savings
passed through to self-funded employers and patients.
"This historic partnership is a turning point for the healthcare
industry," said Sean Smith, CFO of
University Hospital at Downstate. "Mishe's network allows Downstate
to extend its reach and provide accessibility to employers and
individuals not covered by insurance or eligible for state

are welcome innovations making this partnership a true
win-win-win."
