“We are constantly looking at the employee benefits landscape through our clients’ eyes,” says Chad DiBonaventura, Managing Director of Baystate Benefit Services. “It has become obvious that one of the biggest pain points that our customers face is rising health insurance costs and a total lack of medical price transparency. We are convinced that MyMedicalShopper has built the best platform for empowering the medical consumer. We are excited about our new partnership with MMS and eager to share this new technology with our clients to help them control their costs.”

About MyMedicalShopper

MyMedicalShopper is available through benefit brokers and consultants serving both the fully insured and self-funded employer markets. MyMedicalShopper provides a comprehensive platform for employers who want to take control of their healthcare costs and empower their employees with a tool that makes shopping for medical care as easy as a Google search.

MyMedicalRewards™ provides a dynamic HRA or HSA funding mechanism that drives good consumer behavior even when employees are spending employer dollars. It combines reference-pricing models with the MyMedicalShopper shopping experience to reward employees for choosing low-cost, high-quality medical care, thus reducing medical claims.

MyMedicalShopper’s Employer Dashboard provides CEOs, CFOs, and HR leadership with direct visibility into their group’s claims experience, engagement with MMS programs, and realization of savings. MyMedicalMetrics™ is an enhanced feature of this dashboard—a robust claims analytics package that shows employers exactly how their employees are victimized by hidden pricing, inadvertently driving up their own costs and overall claims experience for the group. Employers can use this new information to team up with their employees, identify specific savings opportunities, and build targeted campaigns that drive meaningful behavior change and claims reduction for their groups.
