A Better Future
Everyone inside the healthcare industry knows data doesn’t flow. Abett is fixing that problem. Our product ensures that data flows to consumers, and in particular, large employers and plan sponsors.
We believe that large employers, armed with tools like the Lockbox, will change the way this world works. We are excited to be part of that journey.
Abett is a venture-backed company based in Seattle, Washington.
Abett's founder, Mike Hanlon, was the 7th employee at Amazon.com, working there from 1995 to 2001. Hanlon also has a PhD in Economics. After Amazon.com, he was a professor at the University of Washington, in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. He led research teams that used machine learning to create new models of patient-level risk adjustment, for which he and his team won national awards.
Hanlon was inspired to create Abett after working with a large employer and observing its struggles to obtain and manage healthcare data. Abett's staff consists of talented professionals with experience at firms like Amazon.com and Microsoft, and from leading academic institutions.
Do Your Vendor Contracts Prevent You From Accessing Healthcare Plan Data?
As a plan sponsor, one of your primary responsibilities is to obtain, manage, and share your benefits data with vendors as needed to create value for the plan. However, without complete access to your benefits data, it is virtually impossible to successfully fulfill your fiduciary responsibilities, and your benefit plan may suffer as a result. You have a right to obtain this data without hindrance. Heather Wilson, Director of Legal at Abett, shares how to check your vendor contracts and how to take action to better access your healthcare plan data.
