AdminOne Contracts with Benefit Informatics.

TULSA, Okla. -- Benefit Analyzer(TM) and Benefit Manager(TM) to Be Part of Benefit Plan Services

Benefit Informatics Inc. announced today that Arkansas-based AdminOne Corporation has signed a multi-year agreement to offer to its more than 10,000 employee lives Benefit Informatics' benefit plan services and technology.

AdminOne, a third-party administrator of health benefits, selected Benefit Informatics to help provide its clients new consumer-oriented applications and features, increased satisfaction among employees with their health plans, and reduced plan and administrative costs.

Benefit Informatics services include analytical tools for assessing benefit plan financial performance, the means for employers and individuals to manage benefits online and a soon-to-be-released predictive plan modeling product. The resulting information is then used by employees, employers and consultants to make cost effective benefit decisions.

"As we work to control health care costs for both our fully-insured and self-insured clients, we continually seek out gold-standard benefit solutions," said Gary Baker, president of AdminOne. "Best practices in health benefits administration call for sophisticated technology and a solid understanding of the impact of utilization patterns. We chose Benefit Informatics because it's clear they have both."

Among the Benefit Informatics' products to be included is Benefit Analyzer(TM), an online management information service that provides employers information on critical benefit utilization patterns, as well as a detailed analysis of the financial performance of their health plans. Studies show that more than 75% of benefit plan costs are associated with health utilization patterns. By reviewing clinical statistics such as diagnosis, procedures and place of service, Benefit Analyzer(TM) gives employers insights into provider practice patterns and return on investment for implementing specific health and wellness programs.

Also a part of the agreement is Benefit Manager(TM), a Web-based tool that gives employees access to health and wellness information, online review and comparison of multiple benefit plan choices and "what-if" modeling of different benefit cost scenarios. Benefit Manager(TM) includes automated assistance in choosing and enrolling in selected benefits. Employees are able to monitor the use and cost of health services and become more comfortable in making informed benefit decisions. Plan providers and third party administrators and their clients reap the rewards of an automated solution that helps to reduce costs associated with paperwork, mailing expenses and customer service.

"Our mission is to help our clients help their clients at the highest levels of customer satisfaction," said Benefit Informatics CEO Philip Kurtz. "This partnership with AdminOne is another example of how our strengths in technology and related services are so complementary to third-party administrators and plan providers across the country."
