Description:
Overall, our company can be characterized as a third party administration company which will develop a proprietary provider network, and will also be instrumental in developing the first new HMO in West Michigan in nearly a decade. WHP will have exclusive, irrevocable, long-term administrative control of this HMO.
Michigan has been ranked as the third least competitive health insurance market in the United States, ranking above only Arkansas and Hawaii.
WHP will differentiate itself from the competition by focusing on the use of innovative care management programs to help our membership take more control of their own health, working in partnership with employers and plan enrollees to make navigating the healthcare system more streamlined and efficient, and using the latest in mobile health technology platforms and telemedicine to improve access to medical assistance 24/7.
WHP plans to meet customer requirements by employing the best predictive modeling algorithms to identify the members at the highest risk for developing significant health events, then deploying designated care managers to work in partnership with these members and their family/support structures; using the principles of value-based insurance design to insure that healthcare dollars are being spent on the most cost-effective treatments and programs; as well as adopting mobile connectivity applications and web-based reminder services to help our members keep on top of their health care needs.
