ASI and Subimo Deliver New Consumer-Directed Healthcare Solutions ROCKVILLE, MD, and CHICAGO, IL, (March 8, 2006) – ASI, the nation’s leading consumer-directed healthcare solutions provider and Subimo, the recognized leader in web-based, healthcare decision-support systems are deploying new tools to address the rapidly growing consumer-driven healthcare market. ASI's strategic alliance with Subimo allows employers to contain rising costs and health plans to round out their more flexible and affordable products while providing greater overall transparency regarding the cost and quality of care. Two leading health plans, Care Choices and Group Health Cooperative, have announced they are leveraging ASI’s industry-leading, consumer-directed healthcare solutions that provide access to Subimo's Healthcare Advisor™ suite. ASI’s Advanced Consumer-Directed Solution enables employees and health plan members to effectively manage their healthcare dollars by creating a customized framework for decision-making regarding complex situations and medical issues. “Care Choices leveraged the Subimo decision support tools to complement our CDH offering with ASI. We strategically did this to make sure members had the right tools in hand to make better informed decisions in managing their new CDH benefits,” said Laurie Westfall, chief operations officer, Care Choices. ASI's solutions enable health plans to connect directly to their members
by providing secure and encrypted on-line access to user-friendly information
from Subimo's evidenced-based healthcare data. Subimo’s products
provide employees with easy-to-understand, drug decision guides for chronic,
high-cost conditions, as well as an objective compilation of information
regarding medical conditions, common procedures, costs of those services,
potential complications and risks, along with hospital and physician reputations
and experience—all of which enable members to make knowledgeable
decisions about their individual health options. “Employers are offering new consumer-driven healthcare plans as a way of managing their healthcare expenditures while still offering employees a high level of care,” said Ann Mond Johnson, president of Subimo. “The availability of relevant information on healthcare quality and cost in order to make more informed decisions is critical to success of these CDH benefits.” ASI and Subimo announced a formal alliance in March 2005 to provide a comprehensive decision-support portfolio to better enable healthcare consumerism by giving employees choice, convenience, and control over their healthcare.
