MphasiS/Eldorado Partners With NavigatorMD to Deliver Value-Based Benefit Design Modeling With Health Data Integration

Posted on: Monday, 21 July 2008, 15:01 CDT

MphasiS Healthcare Solutions (MHS)/Eldorado announced today a strategic partnership with NavigatorMD, Inc., to provide third party administrators (TPAs), benefit brokers/consultants, employers, health plans, insurance companies and other healthcare payers with a new, revolutionary way in which health plans are designed and managed for controlling cost.

"NavigatorMD and MphasiS/Eldorado share the vision of controlling healthcare costs by ensuring better health outcomes through new ways of integrating data," said Ernest Youngblood, president and CEO of NavigatorMD, Inc. "By directly accessing claims data from HEALTHpac and Javelina, NavigatorMD's software leverages all relevant and available healthcare data to optimize health plan design, resulting in successful interventions, improved member health, lower healthcare costs and measurable improvements in workforce productivity."

NavigatorMD's standard database, powered by proprietary data transformation technology, allows various types of data to populate the database for user-defined integration, analytics, trending, reporting and plan design. Unlike other data sources, NavigatorMD can integrate claims data from HEALTHpac or Javelina, MphasiS/Eldorado's fully integrated software products and ASP services, directly into its plan design and analytics solution without data mapping. In addition to claims data, NavigatorMD can incorporate data from additional healthcare sources on enrollment, lifestyle risks, health plan milestones, and administrative costs.

"Our partnership with NavigatorMD allows us to deliver a comprehensive approach to health plan analytics and design to our combined customer base," said Tom Castleberry, vice chairman of MphasiS/Eldorado. "We're tapping into the true power of data by examining historic and current data to predict how plan changes could impact compliance and overall costs."
