DENVER and ATLANTA - January 17, 2012 – The TriZetto Group, Inc. and Connecture, Inc. today announced an agreement to provide healthcare payer organizations with deep, comprehensive integration that automates and accelerates the sale, administration, and renewal of individual and small-group insurance policies. TriZetto and Connecture will introduce the integrated solution during the first half of 2012.

“The growing trend toward consumerism is prompting healthcare payer organizations to fundamentally rethink their strategies and tactics,” suggested Jeff Hensley, senior vice president of product management at TriZetto. “Health plans will focus on the service experience, leverage consumer analytics as they refine product strategy, and engage consumers and employer groups in managing the cost and quality of care. TriZetto and Connecture’s combined solution will give a competitive advantage to payers seeking to win individual and small-group customers through the multiple retail channels where they will be sold. The administrative efficiency and automation of this offering are the latest example of how TriZetto helps healthcare organizations respond to challenges by offering new solutions in an evolving marketplace.”

“The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires carriers to minimize their administration costs while maximizing the consumer experience, something that can only be accomplished through technology,” explained Dan Maynard, president of Connecture. “The deep integration that we have committed to developing with TriZetto will bridge the gaps between member sales and ongoing customer service, administration and renewals.”

“As the health insurance market evolves, cost and speed will become more pivotal competitive factors, and this partnership will enable payers to reduce manual efforts for quoting, case set-up, enrollment, renewals and policy administration,” said Todd Tipton, associate vice president of product management at TriZetto. “This integrated offering will allow brokers and general agents to shift a substantial portion of the time they spend on service and administration work to selling new business.”

“The partnership will bring a feature-rich ‘quote-to-card’ solution to health plans, offering seamless online enrollment and user experience options for both the individual and group insurance markets,” indicated David Sockel, chief revenue officer at Connecture.

TriZetto and Connecture are providing the supported integration of TriZetto’s Facets™ and QNXT™ systems with Connecture’s InsureAdvantage®. TriZetto’s Facets and QNXT systems automate the core administrative functions of healthcare payer organizations. Connecture’s InsureAdvantage platform automates health insurance shopping, enrollment and underwriting, as well as policy administration and renewal processing.
