Actuarial plan analysis provides the insight and data analytics you need to make effective group health benefits choices for your organization.
Nielsen Benefits Group uses client-specific information — including costs, utilization, quality and employee health care status – to create a robust, actionable data warehouse. After performing actuarial analysis on relevant trends and metrics, we produce data-driven reports that allow our clients to make group health benefit decisions based on value and return on investment (ROI), rather than the straight costs.
Advanced Analytics & Reporting for Group Health Benefits
Each quarter, our analysts provide actuarial cost models to help guide your future health benefits plan decisions.
We delve deeply into the claims data to identify and communicate valuable clinical and financial trends that our clients can use to guide their future benefits plan decisions. Some of the metrics we use in our analyses include PCP visits, specialist visits, prescription drugs, emergency room visits, hospital admissions and out-of-network utilization for the period. We explore claim frequency, unit costs, provider discounts, per-member-per-month (PMPM) costs, actuarial value (AV), medical loss ratio (MLR) and risk scores specific to the client’s investment in group health benefits.
Some of the reporting metrics we provide include:
- Claims data
- Health savings account (HSA) data
- Flexible spending account (FSA) data
- Claims per-member per-month data
- Carrier claims reports
- Customer service log
- Health plan performance comparison
- Health risk assessment
