For over 40 years Checkbook/CSS has developed and delivered health plan comparison tools for organizations including federal agencies, state based marketplaces under the ACA, private exchanges, and others.
Our focus is on what the data means for the consumer, not just the specific terms laid out in a particular plan. Before designing a tool, we take the point of view of the user and walk through the process of understanding and choosing a plan as they do. This makes us obessive about verifying and correcting data - we often discover and report back detailed plan information errors to marketplace partners and associated insurers.
Our decision support tools comprise a range of functionality, available as an all-in-one package or as optional modules.
Features include:
Our decision support tools are web-based and include high-availability hosting. We offer a number of ways to work with clients, from turnkey anonymous window shopping (clients only need to provide insurers' data) all the way to full integration with your enrollment platform.
Over the last decade, we've helped many state-based marketplaces develop and improve their consumer shopping experience. Here are some current anonymous plan comparison tools. Try them for yourself!
