DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Healthcare technology and consulting company Compass Professional Health Services today introduced Health Pro Cloud SpendTracker, a new version of its Compass Health Pro Cloud™ mobile app. Building on this year’s release of Health Pro Cloud, SpendTracker allows users to track their individual and family out-of-pocket healthcare expenses in real time so they can make smarter healthcare decisions — improving care and lowering healthcare costs.
“Healthcare is expensive. And depending on the doctor, hospital and facility, healthcare costs can vary by hundreds or even thousands of dollars — even in-network,” said Cliff Sentell, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Compass Professional Health Services. “To help members navigate these choices and save money, we give specifically selected recommendations for their unique provider needs. By adding real-time healthcare spend information, we’re making our guidance even more personal by showing our members their out of pocket costs before they receive care.”
Cost estimates in Health Pro Cloud get even smarter with the SpendTracker release. The app dynamically generates up-to-date, out-of-pocket estimates for in-network medical services — and automatically populates it without employers having to provide claims data. SpendTracker tells users how close they are to reaching their:
- Deductible for in-network medical services
- Out-of-pocket maximum, after which time, insurance pays for 100 percent of covered health benefits
Health Pro Cloud’s intuitive interface is based on insights from more than 1 million healthcare interactions with Compass members. The easy-to-use app helps users:
- Compare costs for medical services so they avoid overpaying for healthcare
- Find highly-rated, in-network doctors and dentists who meet individual preferences
- Organize their healthcare information conveniently in one place
- Easily connect with their personal Compass Health Pro® consultant when they have questions about their insurance benefits, need help understanding their medical bill or just need help coordinating care
The Compass Health Pro Cloud app is part of the Compass Navigator™ solution that provides users with comprehensive support throughout their entire healthcare journey, including:
- Patient Advocacy Support to help users understand their healthcare benefits, maximize their benefits when they need them and remove the hassle of reviewing problematic medical bills and scheduling doctor’s appointments.
- Decision-Support Services to help users find quality providers and care, save money on medical services, pay less for prescriptions and connect users to other programs like telemedicine and disease management.
The Health Pro Cloud app is available for download in both iOS and Android formats. Contact your Compass representative for availability for your employee population.
