HealtheReports Provides Pricing Transparency to Emerald Health Network Members
LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IF Technologies, LLC has partnered with Emerald Health Network, a HealthSmart company, to empower their network members with true transparency through HealtheReports™. HealtheReports, a web-based subscription service, provides members access to network-specific pricing for medical procedures by health care provider. Members can also access nationally recognized quality indicators and feedback from other members on their experience with those providers.
"Emerald Health Network members are seeking pricing information, by procedure, and we are pleased to make this information available to them through HealtheReports. We are confident that this service will empower our members to make informed health care decisions while maximizing the value of their health care benefits," states Mike Mitchell, national vice president of Business Development. "We believe HealtheReports is the most comprehensive transparency solution on the market. It provides our members with actionable information that helps them access high quality, low cost healthcare, which is what we all want."
Employers, PPO networks and insurance companies are encouraging their members to be more active in the management of their health care and related costs. This requires members having access to information that has historically been unavailable to them.
"Members are realizing health care providers are often paid different amounts for the same medical procedure and the difference can be significant. When they are empowered with comparative pricing through our transparency solution HealtheReports, many are choosing a provider who offers a better value. The result is lower costs for the member as well as their health plan," states Jim Freedman, CEO of IF Technologies.
