In a recent poll conducted by healthcare transparency solutions leader HealthSparq, 100 percent of health insurance executives said they felt pressure from employers to provide price transparency tools. It’s clear that employers are clamoring for better healthcare shopping tools, as employees pay a higher percentage of their own healthcare and desire to become more informed decision-makers.
At next week’s Institute of Healthcare Consumerism (IHC) Forum West in Las Vegas, HealthSparq executives will appear in two difference sessions and leave attendees with a deep understanding of healthcare transparency, including a checklist of what to look for in transparency solutions to empower healthcare shopping for consumers.
HealthSparq will also make a product announcement at the event.
“Next week’s IHC conference provides us a unique opportunity to unveil a new offering to health plans and employers that will drive healthcare cost reduction,” said HealthSparq General Manager Torben Nielsen. “With reports indicating that 53 percent of consumers are uninformed about healthcare costs, it’s apparent that this technology is being called for in the marketplace.”
HealthSparq was recently awarded IHC’s sought after “Healthcare Consumerism Superstar” designation, recognizing the company’s progressive thought leadership and innovation in the healthcare space.
HealthSparq develops healthcare transparency solutions, leveraging data from a variety of sources, including health insurance claims, linked together with community reviews and discussions, to empower consumers to make informed decisions via online shopping for healthcare. Recently HealthSparq released the results of a case study demonstrating the potential for nearly $50 million in cost savings when consumers shopped online for healthcare services.
