Payer-side network development

Build the provider network your health plan or PPO strategy requires.

A distinct Cypress vertical serving health plans, payers, and independent PPO networks—not an extension of provider-side contracting engagements.

Payer and PPO focus

Network development is relationship-driven work.

Cypress brings structured recruitment, contracting discipline, and transparent reporting to the work of building provider access across defined markets.

A dedicated vertical with a different customer.

Cypress supports organizations responsible for creating and maintaining provider networks. The buyer, objectives, deliverables, and performance requirements differ from our fractional managed care work for provider organizations.
