“Employers typically rely on carrier-reported discounts and often incomplete data when assessing network partners. This approach typically overlooks various hidden or extraneous fees, fails to account for differences between networks, and does not incorporate important metrics like the quality of care provided,” said Elodie Olsen, FAA Intellectual Capital Leader, Health & Benefits. “Health Transparency Optimizer delivers a comprehensive and transparent solution, enabling confident, data-driven decisions. Ultimately, this clarity helps employers make smarter choices and achieve better outcomes.”
