Data Tools for Health Funds

We provide Data Tools and that aid PHI Funds to reduce benefit outlays, reduce operating expenses, retain policyholders and amplify marketing return on investment.

DATA TOOLS

During FY25 we will release Data Tools - each belonging to one of three data series

Series 1 is our Outside Hospital Services Innovation ("OHSI") - they aid funds to reduce benefit outlays and minimise future year premium rate rises.

Series 2 is our Management Expense ("ME") Data Tools and PHInsights - those benchmarking tools help funds to reduce operating expenses.

Series 3 is our Policyholder Value Data Tools and PHInsights - they help funds to retain policyholders and amplify marketing return on investment. 

THREE DATA SERIES

Every Data Tool provides actionable insights that help you get the best answer and save you time.

Via partnership, we have Data Tools that help health funds maximise savings realisable via OHSIs.

Includes our ME Composition Benchmarker and our ME Trend Index

Includes our Policyholder Trust Benchmark, our Policyholder Lapse Projector, our Lifetime Policy Value Calculator and our Affordability Index

WHAT IS 'a PHInsight' ?

A PHInsight is a series of data-derived perspectives that reveal opportunities to enhance health fund performance or to reduce likelihood of adverse performance. Each PHInsight has application that can aid a health fund to either:

(1) reduce benefit outlays;

(2) reduce management expenses; or

(3) raise policyholder retention and amplify marketing return on investment.

These data driven perspectives shed a quantitative torch on these key issues and parse options that can guide PHI leaders towards practical solutions. The perspectives we provide aim to facilitate informed decision-making. 

If you work with a subscribing fund you can access all PHInsights but we recommend investing quality-time ONLY on the ones topical to your domain. Those are the ones that save you the most time and help you get your Fund to the best outcome more seamlessly. 

We say this because we want to ensure PHInsights gives you back maximal time savings. 

Phonetically, PHInsight is pronounced with an 'F' sound (like Finsight).

AFFORDABILITY FOR WORKING AGE POLICYHODLERS

We are on a mission to help funds make PHI considerably more affordable for younger and working age policyholders

Why working age policyholders? Because our community rated system relies on that group turning up. In the past decade, 10.3% of them have either left us or matured into the transitional age group. Right now, with soaring interest rates, we risk seeing that cohort leave us. Hence, cost reducing innovation isn’t just an option, it's an imperative – for the sustainability of our health system (including the public health system).
