More Than Savings: A Cost Containment Model That Actually Delivers

Location: Portland, OR Date: April 17, 2026

In 2021, CEO David Vizzini emphasized a principle that continues to define EquitasDX’s approach to cost containment today: “A Reference Based Pricing (RBP) program cannot fully succeed without member and client advocacy.” 

That philosophy remains central to how EquitasDX delivers reference‑based pricing, provider negotiations, and cost containment solutions for self‑funded health plans.

Why Advocacy Is Critical to Effective Cost Containment

While many cost containment vendors focus solely on claims repricing and post‑payment audits, EquitasDX takes a broader, more integrated approach. Our model combines data‑driven reimbursement methodologies with proactive provider and member advocacy, ensuring claims are defensible, compliant, and resolved efficiently.

Our dedicated advocacy team actively engages healthcare providers to drive resolution and secure reasonable reimbursement aligned with industry benchmarks.

When necessary, this includes escalation through more advanced channels such as Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR), where preparation, documentation, and defensibility are critical to success.

Proven Results: Consistency That Sets EquitasDX Apart

The results speak for themselves.

• 2020: EquitasDX closed the year with zero unresolved claims and a provider disruption rate of just 0.07%

• 2025: Provider disruption improved further to 0.05%, reinforcing the strength and scalability of our advocacy‑first cost containment model

This sustained performance is made possible by a fully integrated, in‑house ecosystem. From our proprietary claims platform to our advocacy and clinical teams, Veritas Allies maintains end‑to‑end control of the cost containment process. Doing so we are eliminating fragmentation, reducing administrative burden, and ensuring accountability at every stage.

"No other entity in the market can make a similar claim backed by controlled results,” said David Vizzini, CEO of EquitasDX.

Advancing Outcomes Across the Veritas Allies Platform

This same integrated model continues to drive measurable impact across the Veritas Allies ecosystem.

Through ServusCARE, Veritas Allies teams are advancing:

• Patient navigation

• Provider negotiations

• Cross‑functional clinical and advocacy collaboration

Together, these capabilities are strengthening outcomes for self‑funded health plans and their members while preserving long‑term plan sustainability.

Real‑World Impact: Undefeated in Independent Dispute Resolution

Our advocacy‑driven approach was recently reinforced in a high‑value claim where EquitasDX supported a reimbursement of under $40,000 against a provider demand exceeding $700,000. We stood firm on our reimbursement because we knew what was fair and subsequently maintained our undefeated record in Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR).

Preserving Savings Without Compromising Quality

Beyond outcomes, Veritas Allies remains committed to preserving savings for clients. EquitasDX delivers market‑leading efficiency through:

• Average cost containment fees of approximately 15% of savings

• Capitated pricing structures

• Clinical support services priced below market benchmarks

This model is intentionally designed to maximize net savings while maintaining high‑quality member experiences.

“Our structure allows us to contribute meaningfully to the long-term sustainability of self-funded plans,” said CSO Whitney Westerholm. “We’re not just generating savings - we’re helping employers maintain viability and stay self-insured.”
