Springfield Clinic offering a health plan ensuring patients in-network access their Springfield Clinic doctors. 

According to Springfield Clinic, too many patients lost trusted relationships with their Springfield Clinic doctors over the past year. 

Vice President of Brand, Experience and Advocacy Zach Kerker says many started driving out of the clinic area to seek treatment. 

Kerker explains what the plan allows employers with 10 or more employees to do. He hopes it will manage the cost of care.

Ultimately, this comes down to better choices for patients. 

This move comes after Springfield Clinic ended its partnership with Blue Cross, Blue Shield over a year ago.
