Deerhold, a company offering advanced healthcare data management and solutions to support healthcare price transparency and compliance, announced a strategic partnership with Windsor Strategy Partners, a leading healthcare actuarial firm. The partnership originated as a joint effort to develop an actuarial tool that increases confidence in provider discount selection for stop-loss carriers and managing general underwriters (MGUs) quoting stop-loss premiums.

Jeff Gasser, CEO and co-founder of Deerhold said, ''Stakeholders in the self-funded marketplace are largely reliant on risk modeling tools that run on outdated data. By leveraging healthcare price transparency data to surface the most up-to-date health plan contract rates, our solution will enable direct stop-loss writers and MGUs to model aggregate and specific stop-loss scenarios with greater precision than ever before.''

We look forward to integrating Windsor's market-leading actuarial modeling into Deerhold's network comparison module to enhance underwriting performance. The data the Deerhold team has distilled from the transparency files is extraordinary in its detail. Ultimately, our goal is to help stakeholders be more profitable by offering accurate pricing that's backed up by the most current network transparency data, said Dave Wilson, President and founder of Windsor Strategy Partners.

The jointly-developed solution will allow users to input group demographics, such as network selection and member location, to observe how changes in health plan networks influence group-specific claim costs at varying specific deductibles, as projected by stop-loss underwriting manuals.

The solution is expected to launch by the fourth quarter of 2025. Organizations interested in learning more can contact Pete Titas (ptitas@deerhold.com) for more information.
