Innovanté Benefit Administrators Announces Strategic Partnership
August 20, 2009, GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLO. – Innovanté Benefit Administrators, a vanguard provider of customized third party administration services for employers across the nation, today
announced a strategic partnership with two innovative firms. In the constant quest to provide employers with affordable, quality healthcare options, Innovanté has created a visionary approach with KePRO, a leading quality improvement and care management organization, and Engage Health, an organization that provides integrated solutions that improve health, promote wellness and manage care through an unprecedented level of interaction between participants, health care providers and care managers.
Many firms offer a variety of health and wellness programs these days, including cost-containment plans and case management services. This makes it increasingly difficult for employers in today’s marketplace to understand how to choose programs that will result in true cost savings while simultaneously improving their employees’ health, and it can be mystifying to discern those services that provide real, quantifiable cost savings. The integration between these three progressive firms provides the required spectrum of services that 1) create incentives and disincentives for employees to take increasing responsibility for their health conditions, 2) improve employee health, and 3) provide a quantifiable return on investment through careful analysis and reporting.
The novel approach clearly aligns the critical aspects of healthcare to facilitate health improvement by providing an increased understanding of the true costs, and instilling more personal awareness and ownership of health conditions. Innovanté’s iFIT program, through the exclusive partnership with KePRO and EngageHealth, provides employees and their families with the necessary support and tools to take control of their health conditions with achievable, clearly outlined goals and a highly personalized support structure aimed at ensuring individual success. People are looked at as individuals, not as a single, aggregated population with a summarized condition set as occurs with more traditional insurance carriers.
“Through this unique partnership, our clients will receive the most powerful care management solutions to improve members’ overall health and productivity, while generating increased efficiency and cost savings for employers,” said Kathy Major, President of Innovanté. “Our members are the core focus and will truly receive the most advanced spectrum of care management and quality improvement solutions available.”
