Today, much of the process for creating benefits for clients is entered into the plan's systems manually.

"It was clear from our extensive experience in the industry as managers of health plans and as healthcare consumers that there was a need for significant improvements to the administrative processes required for efficient plan management. Some of the most advanced technology available is used in the medical sector of the healthcare industry, but very little of it is being applied to streamlining administrative processes and improving the consumer's healthcare experience. We are committed to changing that dynamic." The new products allow plan administrators to work faster and smarter. With the addition of these new technologies, Choicelinx facilitates rapid entry of member enrollments regardless of group size, leaves plan administrators more time for performance of other critical functions and significantly reduces the incidence of errors in benefits design and plan management.
