Mission

HCRM aims to empower health plans, including self-funded groups, to manage member health cost-effectively. Utilizing AI-driven predictive analytics, we aim to revolutionize cost and risk management, fostering financial stability and positive client outcomes.

Vision

We envision using clinical analytics powered by predictive AI modeling to empower health plans. Through innovative technology, we aim to proactively reduce risk and cost while fostering a positive employee culture for organizations of all sizes.

Our Story

HCRM emerged when our president noticed a gap in the healthcare industry and recognized the need for predictive analytics. In 2003, we pioneered providing accurate predictive modeling tools to the small to mid-sized self-funded market. With this, predictive modeling tools were no longer exclusive to large organizations.

Since then, HCRM has been delivering tailored cost solutions, data analysis, and risk management to organizations of all sizes. Our platform offers a holistic view of your employee population, focusing on the highest costs and identifying risks and future high-cost individuals for a healthier future.

We can’t change the past or the money spent, but we are committed to supporting you as you focus on improving member health to minimize future claims and savings.

Our passionate and dedicated expert team delivers all of our services. Each member of the HCRM team supports our clients in unique ways, combining their areas of skill to give comprehensive solutions to organizations of all sizes.
