Freightliner Of Grand Rapids: Driving Healthcare Savings With Sympl Benefits

Justin: Affordable Knee Surgery

Justin, the service manager at Freightliner, had been dealing with ongoing knee pain for about a year.

He required a meniscus repair or possible full removal, which was initially estimated to cost $6,000 out of pocket.

Through us, Justin was able to find a qualified doctor who could perform the surgery at no out-of-pocket cost to him.

He was impressed by the number of participating doctors and the ability to choose a provider based on reviews and resources.
