By Gary Coffey, Chief Technology Officer at Spectrum.Life

 



 

In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, insurers are adopting innovative solutions to enhance digital experiences for members. One rising trend is the integration of SDK wrappers into health insurance apps. This integration brings numerous benefits for health insurers, primarily leveraging partners' innovative technologies developed over time. By seamlessly integrating these technologies into the member web or mobile app, insurers can significantly reduce development time while ensuring a connected and identical journey for their customers. 

Enhancing Member Experience

Integrating an SDK wrapper into the health insurance member app unlocks many services and functionalities for insurers and members. Through this integration, insurers can leverage various partner technologies seamlessly, ensuring a cohesive experience within their app. Some examples of these services include: 

  • Video capability and Digital Health AI Assistants: Offering interactive and personalized assistance to members through video calls, AI-driven assistants, and instant messaging.

  • Self-Pay, Symptom Checkers, Digital Health Booking Journeys: Empowering members to manage their health journey efficiently by facilitating self-pay options, symptom checking, and booking appointments for various health services.

  • Patient Portals and Health & Wellbeing Content Services: Providing members with access to their health records, educational content, and resources for maintaining overall well-being. 

Customization and Integration Capabilities

SDKs provide customizable layers specifically designed for the insurance sector, guaranteeing a smooth integration process. These c
apabilities include: 

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) and Eligibility Verification: Streamlining access for members and ensuring data security.

  • Custom User Interface: Aligning the user interface with partnership branding and providing a consistent experience.

  • Personalized Communications: Enhancing member engagement through tailored email communications.

  • Sophisticated Payment Processing: Facilitating seamless payment and co-payment processing within the app. 

Streamlining Digital Transformation for Insurers
