Grand Rounds specializes in connecting employees to high-quality care, thereby reducing healthcare claims. Grand Rounds’ physician assessment data empowers employees to make better overall health care decisions. [Uber Health](https://www.uberhealth.com/) has been partnering with healthcare organizations to help patients and caregivers get reliable rides to and from their medical appointments. Medical providers can also use [Uber Health](https://www.uberhealth.com/) to transport crucial staff to work. [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3325505/7d4cc476-ff48-46c5-929f-09612179e77f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3325505/7d4cc476-ff48-46c5-929f-09612179e77f) Grand Rounds care coordinators can book an Uber for an employee while talking with them on the phone. Free rides can encourage employees to see a doctor and keep their appointment. It is also helpful for those employees who don’t know how to use the Uber app or aren’t familiar with Uber. A free ride may also make it easier for an employee to see a higher-quality doctor who is further away from them. According to Dan Trigub, head of [Uber Health](https://www.uberhealth.com/), "By teaming up with Grand Rounds, our shared capabilities can simplify how members receive high-quality care, ensuring that we help remove transportation barriers and get members to the right place, at the right time."2   1 [https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/18/uber-grand-rounds-partner-to-give-employees-free-rides-to-the-doctor.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/18/uber-grand-rounds-partner-to-give-employees-free-rides-to-the-doctor.html) 2 [https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/tech/uber-pushes-further-into-healthcare-to-reach-large-employers-grand-rounds-partnership](https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/tech/uber-pushes-further-into-healthcare-to-reach-large-employers-grand-rounds-partnership) --- #### Tag: [ Health Insurance Solutions](https://blog.nisbenefits.com/topic/health-insurance-solutions) #### Share: -
