When you log into your free change:healthcare account, its simply not the same as logging into an account sponsored by your TPA (third party administrator) or employer. But why? The simple answer is “data”.
In recent weeks we have done a lot of work on the site, considering ways we can improve the experience for our consumer users. Hopefully, you have noticed our efforts. We plan to continue to work identifying ways to help you save on your healthcare without having your data.
However, when we are working with your TPA or employer we are able to pull in your specific healthcare claims data. What does this do? Well for starters it allows change:healthcare to perform a review of your spending and present you with opportunities/ways to save on your healthcare. Most importantly, these ways to save are specific to your healthcare spending, the prescriptions you take, and the providers you saw. The red circle in the image below identifies our cost savings alerts.
Additionally, we are able to provide you with detailed reporting on your healthcare spending, as well as alternative providers seen by your peers for the same services. You can research these specific providers though change:healthcare’s easy to understand profiles, which contain information on cost and quality. Our detailed reporting can be accessed through one of these two icons on the dashboard. One provides extended information on ways you can save money, the other provides detailed reports on where you went and what you spent, alongside where your peers went and what they paid for the same services. An overview of your detailed reporting is present in the left hand column.
Please let us know if you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our employer and TPA products!
