Payers Target Current Challenges and Competitiveness With 2025 Tech Investment Surge, Reveals Black Book Research Survey

More Than 5,000 Health Plan IT Clients Evaluate 400 Software Firms, Advisors, and Service Vendors Across 35 Operational Areas in 15th Annual Payer Survey on Customer Experience and User Satisfaction

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2024 / In preparation for the upcoming budget year, health plans are bracing for a substantial 23% uptick in their IT and services spending, according to the Q1-Q2 polling which included two-thirds of all U.S. payers. Their strategic focus lies in bolstering investments across several critical areas, notably data analytics, outsourcing, cybersecurity, and AI solutions.

Black Book Research has revealed the leading IT and outsourcing companies in various market segments, as determined by the industry’s most extensive survey of managed care organizations. Renowned for its unbiased, crowdsourced competitive intelligence and buyer opinion insights, Black Book has announced the 2024 awards for the highest user experience and client satisfaction in health plan technology and outsourcing.

“This proactive approach underscores the commitment of health plans to harness cutting-edge technologies to enhance operational efficiency and meet evolving industry demands,” said Doug Brown, President of Black Book.

Black Book is dedicated to pioneering research, ensuring customer satisfaction, and analyzing strategic buyer issues in the managed care marketplace without vendor influence or financial affiliations in exchange for evaluations. “It’s an exciting time at Black Book as we introduce unparalleled user experience surveying tools, the industry’s most comprehensive client satisfaction database, innovative reporting features, and a knowledge management system that allows customers to share relevant, informed feedback in real time,” said Brown.

More than 5,200 health plan users participated in the crowdsourced polling from January to May this year. Vendors were evaluated on 18 key performance indicators relevant to payers including data security measures, customer support, best-of-breed technologies, and product implementations.

“If you aim to curate a selection of the top-performing payer software, outsourcing services, and advisory firms for your health plan, this is the definitive list for 2024,” asserted Brown. “Rated exclusively by health plan users, these vendors and consultants have demonstrated these vendors’ ROI, reliability, trustworthiness, and innovation within the industry.”
