BeneFITwise Intelligence Guide

By asking the employee questions and incorporating personal preferences into econometric models, such as current doctor coverage, risk tolerance, capacity-to-pay, and network breadth, the BeneFITwise intelligence guide uses artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to predict individual risk and costs, account for preferences, and recommend the best available plan option.

“Many employees skip the traditional decision support process during benefits enrollment simply because it’s cumbersome,” explained Scott Evans, chief product officer at benefitexpress. “While BeneFITwise was designed to guide the open enrollment process, what makes it different is that it leverages AI and user preferences, such as risk tolerance, to grant employees the power to choose with confidence.”

BeneFITwise integrated intelligence guide is completely unique to benefitexpress as an intelligence guide fully integrated within My Benefit Express.

Modern User Interface for Configurability

Version 5.0 continues to provide a highly customizable site design with a refreshed look inspired by customer insight and user testing data.  

“Our clients can experience the best of all worlds,” says Bill Mayhew, chief technology officer. “We designed Version 5.0 to have all of the technology features and benefits a sophisticated, complex benefits plan requires without sacrificing branding, appearance or usability.”

This includes a streamlined modern interface and continues to offer an employee favorite feature: plan comparison. This allows an employee to choose and compare among plan features, including unique and detailed attributes like maternity support, diabetes lifestyle, cancer centers of excellence and more.

Enhanced Mobile Responsiveness

The user interface design also offers enhanced mobile responsiveness, allowing an employee to enroll in benefits or access information through a tablet or smartphone.

This announcement continues a series of product and software innovation news from benefitexpress. Recently, the company introduced bCEdge, a streamlined solution for applicant tracking, onboarding, human resources, payroll, and benefits. This follows strategic partnerships with USI and Optum to increase services available for employers and brokers alike.
