Industry-leading brokerage firm’s National Employee Benefits Practice to make innovative cost containment solution available to self-funded health plans.

 

San Francisco, CA and Chicago, IL – February 28, 2023 – EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, one of the nation’s leading retail risk management and employee benefits insurance brokerage and consulting firms, today announced that its Employee Benefit Practice has partnered with Renalogic, the leading company helping employers and self-funded health plans fight the human and financial costs of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), announced record growth in 2022.

 

Through the partnership, EPIC clients will now have access to Renalogic’s care management and cost containment solutions. The solutions available to EPIC clients include:

  • ImpactIQ: A data analytics solution that applies a proprietary algorithm to claims data to identify members at risk for and diagnosed with CKD and ESRD.
  • ImpactCare: A care management and health coaching service for early-stage CKD sufferers designed to forestall the progression of CKD.
  • ImpactAdvocate: A care management and administrative support service for members with late-stage CKD and ESRD to help manage the transition to dialysis and/or transplant.
  • ImpactProtect: The industry leading cost containment solution based upon a proprietary methodology to ensure group health plans pay an appropriate amount for dialysis services.

 

“We are very excited to partner with Renalogic for the benefit of our health plan clients and their members,” said Craig Hasday, President of EPIC’s National Employee Benefits Practice. “With Renalogic, we’re able to help our clients fight a progressive disease that often results in a top-ten medical expense.  We conducted a search and selected Renalogic for the strength of their solutions and reputation in the market for measurable results.”

 

“We are thrilled to work closely with Craig and his team to help reduce costs and improve members’ health,” said Scott Vold, Chief Commercial Officer at Renalogic. “We love to partner with organizations like EPIC that have a long history of commitment to innovation and real impact. The fact that March is National Kidney Month makes the timing of our new partnership that much more exciting.”

 

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects nearly 37 million Americans. Left unchecked, CKD is a progressive disease that can lead to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) which requires sufferers to either obtain a kidney transplant or utilize dialysis in order to stay alive. Today, Renalogic helps more than 600,000 group health plan members fight the medical ravages of CKD and ESRD and lower the costs of their treatments.
