Handl Health innovates with alternative health plans for 2027 benefit year

Handl has expanded its platform capabilities to meet growing demand from its broker customers for variable-copay alternative health plans (AHPs). Traditional medical plans are experiencing double-digit percentage cost increases; AHPs provide predictable healthcare pricing and incentivize higher quality, lower cost care.

When are machine-readable Rx files coming?

Searchable, machine readable prescription drug files are a big step in the quest to create shoppable health insurance and true healthcare pricing transparency. Because right now, employers are flying blind on a cost that makes up at least 25% of their total healthcare spend. And it’s the fastest growing cost that has the least visibility.

How can brokers prepare for healthcare plan renewal season?

In the spring, healthcare plan renewal season seems so far off in the distance. But a little bit of advance preparation goes a long way in getting ready for employee benefits renewal, the most important, and stressful, time of the year for healthcare insurance brokers.

The long journey to SOC 2 compliance is over, as Handl Health is officially SOC 2 Type II certified. But the quest for continual compliance, making sure we live and breathe data security every single day, is ongoing.

Security compliance is crucial at Handl because of all the sensitive healthcare data we’re handling on a daily basis. Instead of being just a one-time, annual, event we see compliance as a critical piece of infrastructure, a piece of bedrock upon which Handl has been built.

SOC 2 is how we demonstrate to customers that we keep their data secure; it’s how we signal that data security is of the utmost importance.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 Type II examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.

As we continue to scale Handl, this certification will help us grow as an organization without sacrificing our foundational data safeguards.
