Highline Adds Quarterly Health Group Data

Now, the company is also doing the analysis needed to provide group data on a quarterly basis. The health group quarterly data stream will include income statement figures, balance sheet calculations, and information such as medical loss ratios, breakdowns of premium distribution by state, investment yields, and per member/per month ratios.

The Affordable Care Act – the legislative package that includes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) — has made the actuaries, competitive intelligence analysts and senior financial professionals who use statutory financial data hungry for quarterly health insurer group data, according to F. Reilly Cobb, vice president of Highline Data.

“They need greater insight into the impact that health care reform is already having on insurers,” Cobb says. “Adding quarterly consolidated data for health groups to Insurance Analyst PRO will enable them to clearly see the financial impact of legislation-driven business decisions at the group level on a quarterly basis.”

Summit Business Media, the parent of Highline Data, is also the parent of National Underwriter Life & Health and the NU Online News Service.
