  • Where is it best to consider using predictive analytics?
  • What should you be doing with the results?

On-demand webinar

Beyond Transparency in Coverage - Embrace plan sponsors with strategic analytics

What makes you trust someone?

Maybe they act upon facts and share these openly with you?
Even when it’s not great news?

While everyone works to meet Transparency in Coverage regulations, we see the chance for you to leap ahead. Anticipate where the market is going and offer more than traditional plan sponsor reporting – bring your plan sponsors business transparency, strategic plan performance transparency. You’ll earn their trust; you’ll be rewarded with retention.

With major industry changes, new care options, and changes in care needs, people have lots of new questions. Be the health plan that easily gives plan sponsors answers, even to hard questions.

Employers benefit because health benefit satsifaction is a contributing factor to employee retention. With the right analytics, it can be easy to find opportunities to improve, maybe by introducing additional plan options. Yes, that’s right. Design analytics that introduce the potential value of your buy-ups. With better plan performance everyone wins as health care costs lower overall.

In an industry built upon trust,

Embrace it, lead with trust


Increase plan sponsor trust with an analytic strategy that delivers better plan transparency, too.

You’ll deepen relationships, earn loyalty, and retain your customers.


Powerful plan sponsor analytics. Go beyond reporting.

What could controlled plan sponsor plan performance transparency look like?

Self-service analytic front-ends are what people want, to explore data. But the secret is the data itself. If you want to focus on using data for plan performance improvements, your analytic views will naturally be very specific to your business.

Take a peek at HDMS Enlight™. Imagine plan sponsors with access to data and analytics you choose or design. See teams working side by side with accounts, helping them to optimize and get the most out of your thoughtfully designed plans and networks.

data analytics for health plans

Tuck and roll, health plan friends.

Health plans needed to quickly pivot business processes to align with evolving customer needs. For healthcare benefits administrator Meritain Health, the large-scale shift in the consumption of care that followed the onset of the pandemic required swift adjustments to accommodate changes in multiple areas: fluctuating sites of service and code sets and payment structures, to name a few.
