For Payers and TPAs

The platform to deliver alternative health plans

Payers and TPAs use Handl to design, activate and monitor dynamic copay plans on the networks they already contract

Plan and Member Intelligence

One connected dataset beneath every plan

Handl normalizes negotiated rates, claims, provider quality, directory and episode data into a single modeling-ready layer. Your team designs and prices the plans. Handl maintains the layer beneath them.

The challenges

Alternative health plans are in demand

Employers want AHPs now

Clients are asking for competitive, affordable plans this cycle. Building one the traditional way takes years. Handl activates a plan in months and opens it to the benefits consultants in our network right away.

Activation is complex and risky

End-to-end design, adjudication and provider connectivity is a multi-year build. Handl provides the infrastructure purpose-built for it, so you are configuring rather than constructing.

Undifferentiated plans lose at renewal

When plans look the same as everyone else's, sponsors and brokers find other options. Handl's provider Value Index surfaces cost savings and steerage improvements that give them a reason to stay.
