Self-Insured Employer Analytics
The days of healthcare price secrecy are over! Self-insured employers were disappointed that implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) did little to address healthcare costs. Today, years later, price transparency provides a meaningful cost-reduction opportunity.
Employers can now obtain their claims data, inclusive of both provider identity and price. You can also obtain provider-specific price data from public sources. Teus Health will partner with you to obtain data; identify fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) and overpricing; hold your administrator and network accountable; and reduce healthcare costs.
Are you underwhelmed by the quarterly and annual reports produced by your health insurance broker, provider network, TPA/ASO contractor, PBM, and wellness and care management vendors? We are. We work for you to find specific actionable hot spots of over-pricing, ineffective interventions, fraud, waste, and abuse – the things that cause you to spend more than you should.

Would it be helpful to have an actuary on your side when you engage in financial negotiations or audits with providers? Do you need an independent party to examine your or someone else’s data?
