Tango Health is Now Available in All Markets to Increase Member Engagement in Medical Spending
San Francisco, California and Austin, Texas — June 14, 2012 — SeeChange Health Insurance, the first health plan to offer value-based benefit designs coupled with health plans compatible with health savings accounts (HSAs) and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) to small and midsize businesses, announced today that Tango Health’s HSA management software and services are now available to insured employers and their workers as a preferred HSA option. This partnership will enable SeeChange Health’s clients to offer employees a robust set of tools to help them become more engaged healthcare consumers.
“Our value-based plans reward members for taking control of their health,” said Alan Katz, SeeChange Health’s Executive Vice President. “Tango Health’s user-friendly HSA tools help consumers take control of their medical spending. By adding Tango Health to our Preferred Partner Program we enable employers to put together a powerful package.”
“As the leader in Value Based Benefit Design, SeeChange Health uses its innovative plan designs to improve employee health and lower health care costs over the long term through early identification and management of serious medical conditions. A key element of this approach is to provide members with significant financial rewards (in the form of reduced out-of-pocket exposure and/or deposits to a Health Incentive account) for taking simple and appropriate actions. The result is a healthier, more productive workforce for employers and a better quality of life for employees.
By taking advantage of Tango Health’s unique offerings, members will now be able to manage and track health spending according to their financial goals, lifestyle, and payment preferences. Members will also be able to use Tango Health’s online software to view and manage processed health claims, and they can reimburse themselves for expenses paid out of their own pocket or attach receipts to create a complete spending record.
As health care benefit costs continue to rise, companies are looking for ways to reduce costs while still providing the best benefits for their workforce. Consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs) have become an increasingly popular option for these companies. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, CDHPs are growing rapidly and now cover about 21 million individuals, representing roughly 12 percent of the market. Both SeeChange Health and Tango leverage their technology platforms to enable members to navigate the healthcare system and make better informed decisions.
“SeeChange Health is an industry leader that shares our vision of the power of consumer-driven healthcare,” said Duncan Van Dusen, Tango Health Co-Founder and CEO. “As more employers around the country tap the value in health plans like those offered by SeeChange Health, we are pleased to have Tango’s unique software and service package be recommended as a preferred HSA offering to maximize healthcare savings.”
