In the past, consumer Health Insurance data has been inaccessible for developers looking to build applications that rely on claims data. We’ve seen it all, from folks trying to build OCR powered apps to allow users to scan PDFs with their phone’s camera, mailing & faxing their Explanation of Benefits, and even concierge services where a customer service rep routinely logs in to the consumer portal on a user’s behalf, using a shared username and password, to manually retrieve a user’s claim data.
There are several core problems with creating automated solutions to access a user’s Health Insurance data. First, there are several hundred Health Insurance companies in the US. Second, Health Insurance companies generally only work directly with employer groups, so getting data for an individual participant outside of that relationship is problematic at best. Third, Health Insurance companies don’t have a strong financial incentive to work with, well, anyone.
We believe everyone has a fundamental right to access the best health information technology that enables them to live a healthy life.
That’s why we built TPA Stream Connect, The Easiest Way for Users to Connect Their Health Insurance to an App.
