FEBRUARY 2025 – HealthRate is honored to announce that we have been named Best in Show in the Emerge Innovation Experience Contest at HIMSS25 for our groundbreaking work in Improving Data & Analytics Capabilities and Reach in the Payer category. This prestigious recognition underscores our commitment to transforming healthcare by delivering data-driven insights that address critical challenges in today’s medical landscape.
Addressing Pressing Healthcare Challenges
The healthcare industry is currently facing significant challenges:
- Escalating Costs of Life-Saving Treatments: The financial burden of essential medical procedures, such as organ transplants, has been steadily increasing. For instance, the median cost of kidney transplantation rose by approximately 23% from 2012 to 2017. Additionally, the number of kidney transplants performed in the United States increased by 52% over the past decade (2012-2022).
- Rising Demand for Organ Transplants: The need for organ transplants continues to grow, with over 46,000 transplants performed in 2023, marking an 8.7% increase from the previous year.
- Proliferation of Novel Therapies: The rapid approval of new treatments, including gene and cell therapies, has introduced both opportunities and complexities in patient care. In 2024 alone, the FDA approved 50 novel drugs, reflecting the dynamic nature of medical advancements.
These developments, while promising, present challenges in managing costs and ensuring that self-funded employers and those responsible for covering life-saving treatments can continue to provide access to care without facing unsustainable financial risk. Today, many self-funded employers and captives are forced to navigate the difficult balance between absorbing high-cost claims and maintaining the financial stability of their organizations—sometimes making decisions that weigh saving a life against preserving their business.

- Transparent Pricing: Clear insights into the costs of catastrophic claims, enabling better financial planning.
