Payer Core Administration Platforms 2020

20 May 20 | Joe VanDeGraaff and Sam Eaquinto

A core administration platform is the transactional heart of a payer organization—it is used to enroll new members, process and pay claims, and manage product lines and benefits. Many of the products in this market, while needed and typically stable, have been around for decades and are highly customized, hosted on-premises, and often seen as old and complex. Many payers are therefore reluctant to replace these systems because the risks and required effort are so high. But recent buying activity suggests the payer core administration platform market is seeing revitalization. Triggered by the opportunities and challenges of payment reform and value-based care, payers are looking ahead and starting to bid for new vendor partners. KLAS spoke with 30 payer organizations who are making or have recently made purchase decisions, and they shared their candid feedback and insights regarding what vendors they have considered, selected, and/or replaced. These interviews reveal new energy and life in a market long overdue for change—in terms of both product and service delivery.
