Healthcare Price Transparency: A Transformative Solution Solves a Major Challenge for Plan Sponsors and Advisors

Innovu’s Healthcare Price Transparency (HPT) insight is a first of its kind solution that integrates hospital, payer, CMS, and employer claims data. This allows advisors and employers to procure health benefits based on comparison by service, hospital, carrier, by value or based on utilization.

Data Gap

For the last 30 years healthcare pricing data was not available for the public to use in making informed healthcare procurement decisions.

New Hospital and Payer Transparency legislation recently made the data “available,” however, based on the lack of standardization and the sheer size of the data set, it is impossible for the normal consumer to take advantage of this transformative information.

Navigating through the ever growing machine readable data files made public by hospitals and insurance companies would be an impossible task for an advisor or plan sponsor.

Bridging
the Data Gap

Hospital Transparency legislation was passed in 2021, removing data restrictions and making pricing, cost, and payer data available for the first time. As a result, InnovuLens enables advisors and their employers to transform their procurement process in the following ways:
