What makes a project truly meaningful? For Richard Perrin, it's when technology can solve real-world problems while helping people.

PLUM is Richard's favorite project because it brings together three things he's passionate about:
🔹 Building innovative engineering solutions
🔹 Helping people find high-quality doctors and care
🔹 Saving organizations money on healthcare costs

The result is a powerful tool that improves the healthcare experience for members while helping employers better manage spending.

Healthcare pricing transparency is changing the way employers and employees approach healthcare costs but is public pricing data enough to drive meaningful savings?

In this blog, you'll learn:
✅Healthcare Price Transparency Rules
✅How Transparency Impacts Employers
✅Moving From Public Data to Actionable Claims Insights

🚨 Imagine getting hit with a 50% health insurance renewal increase...

That's exactly what happened to a New Jersey employer insured with Horizon BCBSNJ.
Richard Halpin breaks down how we:
✅ Kept the same carrier
✅ Kept the same provider network
✅ Fully funded the deductible
✅ Reduced the increase from 50% to 16%
✅ Improved employee out-of-pocket costs

Sometimes the best solution isn't changing carriers. It's changing the strategy. 💡
