For years, Indiana employers have faced the same frustrating cycle—health plan renewals jump 15% to 17% every January, often without a clear explanation. Costs rise, benefits shrink, and businesses feel like they don’t have any alternatives.
The Indiana Elite Care Network was designed to change that. Anchored by Franciscan Health and partner providers across the state, including OrthoIndy, this plan offers a smarter, more transparent way for employers to manage healthcare costs—while giving employees access to the care they trust.
And in 2025, the network is getting even stronger.
What’s New in 2025
This year brings significant updates that make the Indiana Elite Care Network an even better option for both employers and employees:
-
- Ortho Indy and Unity Healthcare joined the network in July – expanding specialty care access across the state.
- Unity Surgical Center was added to outpatient options – giving employees more choices for high-quality, cost-effective procedures.
- Improved pricing for outpatient services with network partners – lowering costs without sacrificing trusted care.
Employers are already capitalizing on the IEC strategy and seeing meaningful impact. For employers, these updates mean broader networks at lower cost. For your employees, it means more trusted providers close to home and fewer frustrations when seeking care.
The Indiana Elite Care Network is proof that healthcare doesn’t have to be complicated—or unpredictable. With trusted partners, transparent pricing, and a growing network, Indiana employers finally have a sustainable path forward.
