The access file needs a firm network commitment while the available capacity remains disputed.
Higher reimbursement may protect timely access, while tighter admission standards may protect sustainable provider participation.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Finance asked why people are waiting when our report says there are appointments everywhere.”
Darshan Arora · Benefits Manager
She administers a health-plan behavioral health benefit and must explain access performance to finance and employee leaders.
What is at stake
Members in six priority markets are offered clinicians who later cannot take their coverage or referral. You must weigh a durable access commitment against reimbursement cost and provider trust.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- bookable access vs reimbursement exposure
- provider retention vs tighter admission standards
- customer commitment vs uncertain evidence
- speed of filing vs clinical review
Why Spring Health
Spring Care's combined provider network must turn advertised capacity into appointments that members can actually book.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
