Build Your Client’s Health Plan Control Tower

Start with the plan’s agreements and historical claims. Establish the baseline, identify questions that need action, and determine the appropriate scope for ongoing monitoring. You remain the relationship owner and broker of record.

Establish the baseline

Review the administrative agreements and available historical claims to understand the plan’s starting position, data limitations and questions requiring further investigation.

Data rights

Review what data the agreement entitles the plan to receive, how it can be provided, and what the agreement permits.

Pricing Mechanism

Review the agreement for defined pricing, reimbursement, and payment mechanisms that shape how the plan operates.

Audit rights

Review the plan’s contractual rights to examine, verify, and oversee performance.

Change authority

Identify what can be changed, by whom, and under what conditions.

Independent market evidence
KFF employer survey · Firms with 200+ workers
14%

Only 14% strongly agree they have enough information to understand and compare in-network provider prices.

All other responses

Among firms with 200 or more workers that offer health benefits, another 46% agree.

i

That does not mean 86% lack pricing information. It shows that relatively few large employers express strong confidence in the information available to them.

Claims data access
52%

say detailed medical claims data is very or somewhat easy to obtain.

Rebate & Rx payment information
15%
+34%

strongly agree they have sufficient information about manufacturer rebates and related prescription-drug payments. Another 34% agree.

For brokers

The issue is account-specific visibility.

A client may finance the plan and still have uneven access to contracts, claims, pricing information and decision-ready data.

An open agreement is one of the best moments to act

The baseline comes first. An open contract, placement, amendment or data-access decision gives the plan a practical window to act on what it finds.

How the Control Tower works

Three steps. Each one scoped on its own.

1. Establish the baseline
⌄

Review the administrative agreements and available historical claims to understand the plan’s starting position, data limitations and questions requiring further investigation.

2. Scope ongoing monitoring
⌄

Define the data feeds, review cadence and opportunities to be monitored. Historical analysis and recurring monitoring are separately scoped engagements.

3. Decide what can be acted on
⌄

Evaluate findings with the plan and its advisor. Any pathway deployment requires the appropriate authority, partner capacity and validated workflow.

Book + Qualification

Across a book, not just an account

HealCo helps brokers identify which self-funded accounts have the contract access, usable data, decision authority and timing needed to establish a Control Tower baseline.
Each account is assessed individually against these prerequisites.

Usable data
Claims or workflow data can be obtained lawfully and in usable form.
◇
Decision authority
Someone has authority to act on relevant findings and decisions. Pathway deployment also needs partner capacity and validated workflow.
◷
Timing
There is a contract, renewal, monitoring need, procurement or pathway decision creating actual timing.
i
Each account is evaluated on its own facts and prerequisites.
There must be a plausible route from a finding to an action or decision the plan can take.

Privacy & data

The form asks about the plan structure, the contracts and what data exists. It does not accept claims files or member information. Secure transfer comes after qualification and the appropriate agreements.
