Decision Support Tools

Helping employees understand the true cost of healthcare and how to be a savvy consumer when selecting healthcare services is key to helping employers control long-term healthcare spending. Helping employees to achieve this level of understanding requires a commitment to education and communication. The field of healthcare can involve time consuming, complex navigation. To take the guesswork out, and guide you on the path to the right healthcare coverage for your unique member population, we provide you with a set of robust decision support tools.

Our easy to use, value-added support tools include:

     Online Cost Calculators 

     Healthcare Advisory tools 

     Straightforward and comprehensive online reporting 

     24-hour access to pragmatic healthcare advice and information

Our Personalized Member Web site provides increased information to create better-informed, health-conscious and productive participants, through preventive practices and efficient usage of healthcare services. This, in turn, reduces the healthcare expenditures of employers. Members are assisted with the self-management of their health, by providing the ability to research medical information. We offer an extensive alphabetical listing of diseases, conditions, and health topics. The member is also able to participate in an individualized health-coaching program.

Also available as part of the Personalized Member Web site are several components that allow a member to research and compare healthcare options, to determine the best option for their healthcare dollars. Members can evaluate hospitals and physicians, receive help with the selection of coverage plans, and estimate and compare treatment costs.

By using the information provided on this site, members can feel confident that they are making the best choices for the treatment and cost of any medical condition, resulting in engaged and active members invested in receiving the most value for their healthcare dollars.
