PlanWell Health: Improving Care Outcomes, Lowering Costs

PlanWell Health is the first member care app to utilize actual medical and pharmacy claims data of plan members to close gaps in care and save healthplan dollars.

Once care gaps and health intervention opportunities are identified, PlanWell then uses the principles of the most independently researched and peer reviewed population health effort in existence called The Asheville Project.  For nearly 25 years this approach has been used to improve the health of members and save plan costs.

How We Identify Gaps In Care

PlanWell Health helps identify individuals with chronic conditions, as addressing any gaps in their healthcare is crucial for both prevention and effective management of these conditions.

The data science team at PlanWell also utilizes the claim analytics functionalities of our healthcare claims management software to gain insights into the claims occurring on your self-insured health plan, such as identifying low-quality care providers being accessed, overuse of emergency room, increase in overall population risk for 15 different chronic conditions, generic drug substitution opportunities, and much more.

Improving Member Health and Controlling Plan Cost

Identify and engaging members with chronic conditions and gaps in care for prevention, pharmacy and chronic condition management.

When healthplan members have missing prevention services or fail to follow the necessary recommended protocols to care for a chronic condition, it is important to their health and the costs of your plan to close the gaps. 

We begin by leveraging your self insured plan claim data analytics through our integration with Self Insured Reporting, thus accessing all of your members health plan claim data and metrics. Next we scan for opportunities of improvement and personalize these insights on behalf of each plan member.

Once care gaps and health intervention opportunities are identified, PlanWell then uses the principles of the most independently researched and peer reviewed population health effort in existence called The Asheville Project.  For nearly 25 years this approach has been used to improve the health of members and plan costs.

Leveraging Claim Analytics, Brilliant!

Personally, I’m most impressed by how you have linked the claim analytics of the plan directly back to the member.I’ve never seenthat before, but it makes a lot of sense and that is where things like gaps in care belong, in the hands of someone who can do something about it.
