It’s never too late to become a “data” member!

Whether you’re new to the Coalition or have been a member for years, it’s never too late to explore the benefits becoming a data member, availing your organization of timely, actionable analytics on medical claims developed for the Maine Health Management Coalition by Onpoint Health Data ( formerly the Maine Health Information Center, or MHIC).  Benefits of data membership include quarterly ‘per member per month’ reports summarizing monthly membership, overall costs and cost drivers, and member-level cost information on medical claims.  Annually you receive reporting on membership and payments on both a paid and incurred basis.

If you’re already a data member, consider adding our pharmacy cost and use reporting package to the list of service to which you subscribe.  Pharmacy costs continue to be a major driver of your overall health care expense; being well informed will allow you to make benefit design decisions that improve the value and cost of Rx benefits.  Coalition members receiving this vital information have been able to shift spending from brand toward generic equivalents and develop specific Rx-related cost and quality improvement initiatives.

You’ll receive both printed reports and access to all your reports over the web.  Learn where your organization stands in reference to other coalition data members regarding costs and expenditures.   See what your usage trends over time.  Have easy-to-read reports that show where you might increase preventative programs to decrease your overall healthcare costs.  Have access to Onpoint Health Data’s expertise and be able to request ad hoc reports tailored to your specific needs. And, finally, maintain access to your health care spending data over time, regardless of changes in a specific carrier or moving between claims processing platforms.  Maintain the ability for longitudinal reporting using reporting from Onpoint Health Data.
