Use cases

There are many interoperability and data aggregation products and vendors available today. Sorting the signal from the noise and determining how each can solve the problems you face at your organization can be quite challenging.

Flexpa is the simplest and easiest way to connect your patients' claims data, which can power a number of use cases across healthcare, benefits, and fintech.

#Who Flexpa helps

Flexpa's most useful and differentiated feature is the capability to link clean, timely, identified claims data from a patient's insurer. Other tools and mechanisms that provide claims data are often delayed weeks or months, whereas claims through Flexpa are available as soon as adjudication occurs. The Flexpa API offers a far more normalized claims data set than other routes. As a result, it is best used to power or enhance any experiences needing financial information about a patient's care during onboarding or ongoing interactions.

Flexpa relies on patient authorization as a key step in retrieving claims. As such, it is best suited to organizations that either have an existing patient digital experience or those that can insert one easily into their workflows.

#Medicare brokers and broker software

As a Medicare broker, you look to advise patients on the best plans, given their unique history and needs. With Flexpa, you can serve these patients more effectively than ever:

Flexpa can power your Medicare recommendation engine with detailed historical claims data, allowing you to personalize and optimize the Medicare plan guidance you offer
Flexpa validates the existing Medicare plan that is active for a patient and includes a variety of clinical information related to that coverage
With Flexpa data, you can track usage year over year to build your data models and serve your patients more effectively

Additionally, Flexpa acts as a key building block as you look to build out or enhance your member portal:

Flexpa can help you retain and renew members by enriching your member portal with real data about their plan usage over the course of the year in anticipation of renewal
Overcome the challenge of having limited (if any) data access about usage from the carrier by retrieving data directly from members after health plan enrollment

#Bill negotiation and financial assistance

Claims can represent an overwhelming financial liability for patients. For bill negotiation applications like yours, this net-new capability is incredibly empowering to offer the right assistance at the right time:

Flexpa allows you to synchronize patients' bills from payers easier than existing manual upload of claims images or PDFs, reducing the chance that patients drop off of your onboarding flows
Flexpa's claims connection means that information is discretely and uniformly encoded, removing the errors of natural language processing and optical character recognition needed for existing manual uploads
Flexpa's connection process means you can be kept up-to-date on new claims for a patient for up to a year, removing the friction of repeated user upload

#Health insurance carriers

Patient access may be compliance, but it can be so much more. Innovative payers nationwide are taking advantage of the new capabilities of the CMS regulation to better serve their members and reduce inefficiencies:

Flexpa allows you to synchronize claims history for patients during onboarding from their previous insurers. Claims history from prior payers provides a consolidated and accurate picture of care across care institutions.
Additionally, claims history is one of the most accurate ways to identify where care has occurred. This record location can be used to follow up for more detailed clinical information from the right institutions and allows for better care coordination with historic providers
Claims history also helps payers identify higher-risk populations and guide them toward appropriate benefits, such as specialty virtual care partners

#ICHRA administration and management software

For ICHRA startups, Flexpa offers valuable insights and functionalities that can enhance the overall experience for both employers and employees:

Flexpa enables you to access timely and accurate claims data for employees participating in ICHRA plans, helping you better understand their healthcare needs and preferences, which can be used to recommend personalized health plans.

Claims data can be utilized to ensure regulatory compliance and accurate reporting for your ICHRA solutions, helping you avoid penalties and maintain compliance with relevant healthcare regulations.
