KISx Card

TJ created KISx Card in August of 2016, based upon his experience in the brokerage and TPA world in helping self-funded employers control claims cost for over 9 years. It all started with one orthopedic outpatient surgery practice in Central PA that wanted to deliver bundled transparent pricing to local employers.  Since that time, TJ has worked with many great partners to pull together one of the nations largest direct contracting surgery and imaging network.  TJ consistently focuses on areas to continue expanding KISx Card's offerings and making direct contracting a mainstream option for all self-funded employers in the US.
