Don’t Guess. Forecast.
With Benefit Informatics Forecasting technology, employers experiment with plan design techniques and see the impact of potential changes in real time. They can easily evaluate future benefit costs based on historical data.
Here are a few of the questions employers ask as they prepare the health plans they offer to employees:
What would happen if we changed the co-pay amount for name brand prescription drugs?
Which employees would be affected if we increased the deductible for out-of-network services?
How much would the plan save if we eliminated chiropractic benefits?
By using Benefit Informatics tools, users don’t have to guess the answers to these questions – they know.
Create a Variety of Models
In building complex plan packages, benefit administrators need to take into account a number of variables, such as:
- Co-payments
- Out-of-pocket maximums
- Added or deleted benefits
Benefit Informatics Plan Modeling and Forecasting can create numerous scenarios from a variety of plan data, such as co-pays, deductibles, adding and removing members. Users can see these alternatives online and print or save them to make changes later.
