Connecture, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNXR), a provider of web-based information
systems used to create health insurance marketplaces, and Healthx,
Inc., the leader in cloud-based digital engagement solutions for
healthcare payers and other stakeholders, announced today they are
collaborating to integrate Connecture’s smart shopping, enrollment
and engagement solutions with Healthx’s portal technology.
The collaboration between Connecture and Healthx
offers payer customers, such as commercial health plans and third
party administrators (TPAs), a comprehensive set of benefits tools
that they can choose from based on their customers’ needs.
Connecture’s health insurance shopping, enrollment and
administration technology will integrate with the Healthx member,
employer and broker portals. This solution, along with Healthx’s
self-service tools, will further empower members to better manage
their health.
“Connecture is laser-focused on providing the best
end-to-end user experience for our customers and their members and
employees,” said Jeff Surges, president and CEO of Connecture. “By
incorporating Connecture’s smart technology into Healthx’s
sophisticated member portals, we are ensuring that users have a
simple way to shop for and enroll in medical and ancillary
benefits, while also staying well connected and informed about
their care, long after the point of plan enrollment.” “Healthx has
always been committed to enhancing member engagement to improve
health outcomes while increasing administrative efficiency, and
this relationship works to support that objective,” said Sean
Downs, CEO for Healthx. “We are excited to work with Connecture, a
fellow industry-leading partner, to provide a complementary
technology that puts the member at the center of everything they do
relative to their health. Through integration with Healthx, payers
can now optimize digital engagement with their members throughout
the entire member lifecycle, whether during enrollment, when
members are well or need access to care, or when they are managing
their healthcare finances and during benefit renewal.”
Helping Provider-Sponsored Health Plans and
ACOs Provide a Holistic Experience for Member-Patients
According to Surges, the collaboration with Healthx also offers
hospitals and health systems administering their own health plans
and ACOs with a unique opportunity to provide their member-patients
with powerful tools. This will help members better manage the cost
of care and obtain important information about their health.
Additionally, members can shop for and enroll in the medical and
ancillary coverage that best meets their needs. “Health insurance
is ever-changing and complicated for most people,” added Surges.
“For hospitals transitioning to a provider-sponsored health plan
model, administering health insurance effectively and early-on in
the patient-member healthcare journey, and supplementing that with
streamlined benefits administration support, is key to member
enrollment, engagement, satisfaction and renewal.”
Connecture and Healthx said the new integrated
offering is now available for all types of health insurance
carriers and provider organizations.
