Healthaxis Partners with Leading Wellness Portal Provider WorldDoc

Healthaxis, an innovative provider of technology-enhanced, integrated business process solutions and benefit administration services, announced today its partnership with WorldDoc, Inc., an award winning provider of care management systems for consumers, payers, purchasers and providers of healthcare. Healthaxis is enhancing its current web portal solutions for healthcare payers and their membership by integrating with WorldDoc 24/7, a personal health management system. Now, in addition to Healthaxis’ personal plan management and information tools, users can actively manage their health and explore new cost saving and health improvement opportunities along the entire continuum of care.

Equipped with an NCQA compliant health risk assessment and interactive consumer health tools, WorldDoc’s care management system influences positive behavior change, promotes self-care and decreases members’ healthcare costs. Members consistently report that WorldDoc 24/7 has helped them avoid unnecessary doctor visits, modify their health behaviors, manage their chronic conditions and decrease their health risks.

“We believe that WorldDoc significantly improves our ability to help people manage their healthcare. Integrating our solutions with WorldDoc 24/7 provides insured members the information and tools they need to make better healthcare decisions. The integrated solution also lets employers or payer organizations deliver more effective and efficient interventions and member guidance. Health programs that are personal and sensitive to members’ healthcare status significantly increase member involvement, providing a quicker, higher return on investment to them and their employer sponsors. More and more organizations are seeing that the path to lower medical costs is through implementing programs that promote better health and utilization of the healthcare system. We already have one of our TPA customers using WorldDoc, and now one of our healthplan clients has subscribed for the service and is in the process of implementing it,” said John Carradine, CEO and President of Healthaxis.

Rahul Singal, MD, CEO and President of WorldDoc, said “We are excited to be working with Healthaxis in this new partnership. Healthaxis has built a common infrastructure that allows their customers to quickly deploy the WorldDoc system with integrated claims and eligibility data, leading to a more personal experience for consumers. This streamlines population health management processes, and lets members identify care gaps and opportunities to reduce utilization—saving time, lowering cost and improving health.”
