Cost Containment
ConnectCare3’s customized cost containment solutions are created in close partnership with employers and their consultants.
Our Strategy
We begin with employee wellness, education, and the incentivization of healthy behaviors. We leverage Benecon Analytics to identify cost drivers and develop a strategic plan. Finally, we have developed an exclusive marketplace directory to tackle some of today’s most challenging cost drivers. There is no easy button when it comes to containing rising healthcare costs, but Benecon is committed to helping our partners and their customers to not only contain costs but thrive with an empowered and healthier workforce.
Benecon Analytics
Benecon Analytics provides self-insured employers with the ability to easily unlock the claims data on their health plan. Our platform consolidates your medical and pharmacy claims from your TPA/PBM and presents it back to you in an easy to understand format to unlock the details of how and where healthcare dollars are spent.
