The partnership brings together four industry experts. Roundstone Insurance will manage the captive vehicle, underwriting and claims management, Guiding Life will bring its expertise in health risk management, advanced biometrics and reporting, HealthSCOPE Benefits will provide networks; customer care; claims management; value based benefits and complex care (cancer, dialysis, high dollar) management; and negotiation, and LDI Integrated Pharmacy Services will manage pharmacy spending with programmes including premium drug lists and prescription rebates.

The programme is built on Roundstone’s mid-market med captive product which delivers the transparency required to proactively manage health trends.

Employers that choose Health 180 will benefit from advanced biometric screenings, case management, value based benefits, high claim audits and pharmacy spending controls, according to Roundstone.
