Health plans, providers, TPAs, and government programs all run different operations. Here's how HealthOS meets each one exactly where it already is — on one shared data core, with Aipass™ underneath every workspace.

Running multiple lines of business usually means running multiple systems, each with its own version of the truth. HealthOS Plan handles RAF accuracy and Star Ratings while CAPS keeps claims and eligibility moving, all on the same record.
- RAF & HCC Pressure — Risk adjustment accuracy shows up directly in revenue, and most systems catch gaps too late to act.
- Star Ratings Visibility — Performance is often a report read after the measurement year closes, not a live view.
- Administrative Cost — Cost scales with claim volume instead of shrinking as operations mature.

Providers want the visibility a health plan has without becoming a health plan's IT department. HealthOS Provider keeps directory, credentialing, and contracting current automatically, not stale.
- Stale Directory Data — Credentialing and directory information is often out of date the moment it’s exported.
- Referral Leakage — Outdated network information sends referrals out of network by accident.
- Late Quality Data — Metrics arrive too late to influence contract negotiations.

Government & Public Health
Federal, State & Local Agencies, & Public Programs
Public programs carry a compliance and reporting burden most commercial software wasn't built for. HealthOS was, with every automated decision logged in a complete, audit-ready trail.
- Compliance Burden — Audit and reporting requirements exceed what most platforms log by default.
- Dispute Timelines — Resolution windows are difficult to meet with manual processes.
- Multi-Program Reporting — Obligations span multiple state and federal programs at once.

Managing delegated risk without the staff of a full health plan means DOFR rules need to route liability correctly, automatically, across every plan and provider group in the arrangement. That's what CAPS is built to do.
- Delegated Risk at Scale — Arrangements require health-plan-level accuracy on a leaner team.
- DOFR Disputes — Liability disputes consume staff time better spent elsewhere.
- Client Onboarding — Growing the book of business without proportionally growing the back office.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
Does HealthOS work for organizations outside health plans?
Yes. HealthOS is used by health plans, provider organizations, TPAs and risk-bearing entities, government programs, and life sciences partners, each connecting to the workspaces relevant to their operation.
Can a TPA manage multiple health plan clients on HealthOS?
Yes. CAPS is built to handle delegated risk arrangements across multiple clients on one data core, with DOFR rules routing liability correctly for each.
How do life sciences partners access HealthOS data?
Partners connect through Aipass™ for real-time signals on utilization and outcomes, rather than relying on a periodic claims extract.
