ELEVATE - Meet A Vendor
Shortlister hosted Elevate’s CEO, Brian Cosgray, and Chief Technology Officer, Brian Strom, for a discussion on why API is unique in consumer-directed benefits and how the industry will benefit from its adoption.
WHAT IS API?
An application programming interface (API) is a set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating application software. APIs enable applications to exchange data and functionality easily and securely. A modern, API-first approach results in a unified platform and user experience.
Access to real-time data and consistent user experience empowers participants to:
- Better understand their benefits
- Plan for out-of-pocket costs
- Manage their conditions
- Support wellness initiatives, etc.
ABOUT ELEVATE
Elevate’s cutting-edge benefit administration technology simplifies systems, boosts efficiency, and cuts costs for providers. Elevate strives to offer the industry’s most intuitive, configurable, and automated administration platform for employers, employees, and their dependents, to maximize the advantages of consumer-directed benefits.
WHY APIS ARE IMPORTANT IN BENEFITS DELIVERY
- Partner - Unified platform and user experience versus a portal into disparate and disjointed systems
- Employer - Ease of use, real-time access to data, and integration with other systems
- Employee - Optimal access to the right benefits at the right time to improve wellness and quality of life
THE IMPACT OF APIS
Over the past decade, APIs have transformed software development across industries from e-commerce to travel to telecommunications.
An API-first approach to consumer-directed benefits systems enables health plan providers and third-party administrators to assemble benefits into any stack an employer wants—integrated from the user interface to the back end.
Today’s consumer-directed benefits can help employees manage their wellness more successfully than ever before.
A better-integrated, more flexible benefits stack like Elevate can help employees achieve a healthier workforce while getting runaway healthcare expenses under control.
An API-first approach to consumer-directed benefits software development will enable the modern benefits every company needs for the post-COVID world and beyond.
