How is a health insurance company like a battleship?
This is surprisingly easier to answer than how a raven is like a writing desk. Large national health insurers have all the impressive size and capability of an iconic battleship, but they also have the issues of movement that come with that size.
On the other hand, smaller insurers can adjust more quickly to changes in the market. They’re more likely to implement new methods of doing business like focusing on the local life or using data to predict and manage costs.
In this episode, Dustin Plantholt, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Evergreen Health, Inc., explains why and how a small local company using data to drive decisions can compete with major national insurers.
