“For far too many Americans, seeking care means getting lost in the labyrinth of the healthcare system, usually at a time when they’re most vulnerable and uncertain,” said Jon Shanahan, Businessolver President and CEO.
Which is why we are partnering with Amino®, a leading healthcare guidance platform, to launch MyChoice® Find a Provider, a healthcare navigation tool to ensure individuals can find and book high-quality, cost-effective medical care. Powered by Amino’s Smart Match technology, MyChoice Find a Provider seamlessly integrates with Businessolver’s benefits technology platform Benefitsolver®, MyChoice Mobile App, and personal benefits assistant SofiaSM to help individuals make informed healthcare decisions based on their condition, medical plan, and geographic location/preference—at a point in time and place where they already interact with their benefits.

That isn’t the type of decision-making that leads to good outcomes. We’re proud to partner with Amino to offer a solution that streamlines and simplifies the provider search process to connect employees with the right care, at the right time, at the right value—according to the factors that matter most to them—to lower costs and improve outcomes,” added Shanahan.

Those savings are not only felt but seen by employees, as MyChoice Find a Provider allows users to view their plan accumulator and cost calculator to understand how much they’ve spent toward their deductible and how much they could pay out of pocket for different services.
This hyper-personalized provider guidance is designed to optimize every dollar organizations and employees spend on healthcare, and reduce the friction of use since it exists in the same place they are managing their medical benefits.
