Benefitfocus, a leader in benefits administration, is excited to unveil its Care Partner Panel, a groundbreaking solution designed to simplify digital health-solution management for employers and their employees. As a unique market offering, the Care Partner Panel will give human resources and benefits administrators access to a curated selection of high-quality, vetted digital health solutions tailored to meet the specific health needs of different employee groups. By offering this streamlined and comprehensive approach, the Care Partner Panel helps employers manage their digital health offerings more effectively while also addressing the evolving health needs of today’s workforce.
“We understand the value that digital health solutions can offer employers and employees. However, when it comes to the overall management of these important solutions, the health care marketplace continues to be inundated with an increasing number of providers, which creates contracting and selection challenges for employers,” said Chad Cruse, vice president of Benefit Catalog at Benefitfocus. “At Benefitfocus, we are determined to simplify and streamline benefits administration, and the launch of Care Partner Panel does just that by addressing a critical employer need. And, as a leader in benefits administration, we have the scale and capabilities to help solve this need while at the same time creating opportunity for greater access, engagement, and overall health outcomes for employees.”
Beyond the challenges of contracting and implementation that many companies face when sourcing digital health solutions, employers often see low engagement rates from employees who struggle to understand the value and functionality of these tools. To address this, the Care Partner Panel integrates seamlessly with Benefitfocus’ Benefitplace™ platform, providing a multichannel engagement strategy that personalizes the delivery of solutions to employees. Additionally, Benefitfocus customers who utilize the company’s Health Insights data analytics solution can leverage advanced data analysis and expert support to maximize the impact and return on investment of their overall benefits strategy.
