Alight Enhances Employees\u2019 Ability to Find High-Quality Healthcare Providers Through Alight Worklife\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n

Building on existing provider search capabilities, Alight\u2019s <\/i>SmartSelect MD\u00ae <\/sup>uses patented technology to<\/i> deliver a new, decision-focused experience that brings quality and cost transparency to participants<\/i><\/p>\n

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAlight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT<\/a>), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology services provider, today announced enhancements to its next generation provider search engine, SmartSelect MD (SSMD), that will further improve the Alight Worklife experience and healthcare navigation capabilities for users. With SSMD, employees can access personalized, provider recommendations for highly rated, quality providers, with specific expertise associated with their condition or needed procedure.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cPeople frequently face difficulties in finding new providers due to out-of-date health plan directories and missing information, as well as clinical and personal referrals that lead to less than optimal patient outcomes,\u201d said Bipin Mistry, Chief Medical Officer at Alight. \u201cTo avoid costly mistakes, it is critical employees have a trusted place to quickly identify the high-quality and affordable options in their network. With SmartSelect MD\u2019s enhancements embedded on Alight Worklife, employees can easily leverage rich market data and powerful algorithms to select providers that will deliver the most value\u2014 better outcomes and increased savings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe SSMD methodology scores providers on their specific expertise in treating the diagnosis or procedure being queried. For instance, a search for an orthopedic surgeon who treats hip replacements will be measured differently than a search for one that performs arthroscopic surgery. Options are ranked by leveraging algorithms, based on physician specialty, across five data categories: clinical quality, relative experience, appropriateness of care, patient experience, and cost.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nIn recent studies, Alight has found that on average, SSMD delivers $441 in claims-based savings per provider recommendation. Additionally, employees who leverage Alight\u2019s Healthcare Navigation support have cases that are 26% less costly overall\u2014starting with a provider recommendation\u2014when compared to those without support.<\/p>\n
