Plan Management Navigator
Navigator provides analytics for health plan administration, focusing on the management of health plan expenses under the direct control of the management team. Much of the content is derived from our surveys of numerous health plans participating in the Sherlock Benchmarks. Topics addressed include the cost of administration in each functional area, drivers of administrative costs such as product mix and operational metrics, economics of scale and other important topics. This email publication is distributed episodically and is available for free. Sign up here.
