NEW YORK (July 21, 2021) — Prognos Health and Blue Health Intelligence® (BHI®), two of the nation’s leading healthcare data analytics companies, have partnered with a multi-year agreement that combines Prognos’ lab data registry of 325 million de-identified lives comprised of 45 billion record-level laboratory results with BHI’s vast medical and pharmaceutical claims database to create a best-in-class Underwriting Risk Predictor solution.
“We are excited to partner with BHI with its dataset of more than 22 billion medical and pharmacy claims. Combining the company’s data assets with our lab registry, the largest in the industry, will enhance our clients’ ability to assess risk and cost in the coverage of prospective health plan members,” commented Sundeep Bhan, chief executive officer, Prognos Health. “The market understands the value of leveraging Real World Data, and the need to move beyond solely relying on prescription history.”
