Change Healthcare Offers Cost Transparency Support Through Liazon

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Change Healthcare, a leading provider of software and analytics, network solutions and technology-enabled services designed to enable smarter healthcare, is working with Liazon, operator of the industry-leading private benefits exchange Bright Choices®, to be a preferred healthcare cost transparency vendor for employees who obtain benefits through Liazon-powered private exchanges.

As a preferred vendor, Change Healthcare's True View™ Engagement Platform will help consumers and organizations make more informed health shopping decisions around price, convenience and quality for thousands of medical services and prescriptions. Value-based shopping is increasingly important as consumers use exchanges to find the right healthcare options for their families and are empowered to make smart health spending decisions. As high-deductible health plans continue to grow in popularity, it has spurred the demand for effective tools that will better enable consumers to make more educated decisions.

"By offering a cost transparency solution through Liazon and Bright Choices, Change Healthcare is able to provide more people the ability to search for high-quality, best-value medical care in a simple, user-friendly environment," said Tate McDaniel, Senior Vice President of Change Healthcare Engagement Solutions. "We see the tremendous opportunity to help reduce healthcare costs by creating smarter healthcare consumers, improve financial well-being for individuals and strive for better health outcomes. We are confident that by working with Liazon, we will help further these efforts."

Liazon's flagship product, the Bright Choices Exchange, is an online benefits store that is changing the way employers and employees buy benefits. Bright Choices helps employers save money on their healthcare costs by setting predictable budgets while allowing employees to personalize their benefits package with a selection of health, dental, vision, life, disability and other benefits from top national and regional providers.

"When you put the purchasing decision and power into the hands of those who are affected by it, you get better choices and better cost predictability across the board," said Alan Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of Liazon.
