Underwriting Risk Predictor

Why curve your way to predicting underwriting accuracy when Prognos can give you straight answers — now.

Harmonized clinical lab data delivers powerful insights that improve predictive risk assessment.

The path to accurate underwriting predictive accuracy doesn’t have to be a long and winding road. Prognos’ Underwriting product straightens the curve by harnessing the power of machine learning algorithms applied to the Prognos Health Registry, the industry’s largest registry of multi-source harmonized laboratory data. The Registry contains laboratory values on over 325 million Americans. Laboratory values are an unambiguous indicator of the presence of disease and inform over over 70% of clinical decisions.

Fully account for the actual health of your group

Harness the power of lab values.

Insurers are faced with the challenge of how to rapidly and accurately quote group insurance. Traditional actuarial sources of information do not fully account for the actual health of the groups to be quoted, but instead rely upon statistics and probability to predict the financial impact of an uncertain future state.

The Prognos Edge
Unlike solutions that rely primarily on prescription history, our Underwriting product leverages the clinical and diagnostic value of laboratory data to predict the future cost of medical care. Clinical laboratory and pathology values provide clear insight into the health of an individual, unlike prescription data, which can be ambiguous with respect to specific disease states.

Getting Started is Easy.

The process is simple — and the results are unequalled in the industry. Upon receiving a de-identified employer census, it is matched against our HIPAA compliant Registry where unique and highly-trained models produce a reliable risk score that captures clinically-based health insights to predict risk. Prognos’ predictive analytics deliver a risk prediction score for each employer group based on relative projected per member annual cost, and a projected per member per month cost.

Prognos’ underwriting risk product has provided us with formerly elusive member insight that is now effortless to operationalize. We consider this [product] an integral part of our ongoing underwriting risk efforts.
