Hanna Global Solutions Launches Unique U.S. Healthcare
Exchange Solution
Monday, July 22, 2013: A solution developed in partnership with United Healthcare (UHC), the most diversified
healthcare company in the United States
A solution to offer employers greater cost management, lower administrative burden and compliance with new U.S.
health care regulations for January 2014
A solution that offers employees more benefit plan choices and flexibility to select a design that meets their needs
Hanna Global Solutions (HGS), a global human resource and employee benefits management and consulting
company, today announced the launch of their unique U.S. Healthcare Exchange solution, developed specifically for
Indian companies with employees in the United States. This solution has been developed in partnership with
UnitedHealthcare (UHC), the most diversified health care company in the United States.
The HGS Healthcare Exchange offers employees more choice, more control and the opportunity to buy a health
benefit plan that better meets their needs, including the chance to access coverage at a lower cost depending on the
plan selected and the individuals’ health status. In addition to medical insurance, employees will be able to choose
dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans from this exchange.
In January 2014, major provisions of the new U.S. health care law (Patient Protection and Affordable care Act –
PPACA) become law. Some of the provisions are regulatory whereas others pertain to plan designs and financial
penalties for non-compliance. Many employers are looking to health care exchanges as a solution to offer greater
employee choice and predictable cost control, while also reducing the risks of legal compliance. The HGS Healthcare
Exchange has been designed to specifically address the unique needs and challenges of Indian companies with a
global workforce.
How the Healthcare Exchange works
The Healthcare Exchange works like a marketplace where employees select a health benefit plan that meets their
personal needs from a coverage and price perspective. The Exchange offers a selection of plan designs – some with
high benefit levels and some with lower benefit levels – with different premiums that reflect the cost of the plan
design. An employee with high medical needs can select the richer plan, but will pay more for that coverage.
An employer decides how much they want to contribute or subsidize for the employees. The employees then use the
subsidy to select the plan design and coverage level that best meets their personal needs. The employer benefits
from financial and budget predictability, a reduced exposure to health care inflation, a lower administrative burden,
spending less time and money on benefits and a reduced compliance risk.
“Health care in the United States is changing dramatically, and that offers both a threat and a unique opportunity for
cost control to Indian employers with a global workforce. Partnering with UnitedHealthcare, the strongest U.S. health
care insurer, we have developed a leading edge exchange solution that will offer greater choice in benefits, lower
costs and a reduced legal risk,” said Joe Genovese, President, Hanna Global Solutions.
Hanna Global Solutions and United Healthcare already offer unique capabilities specific to global Indian service
companies, and today jointly serve over 100,000 of these employees and their family members living in the United
States. They are familiar with the offshore-onshore business model, the challenges of global employee mobility, and
effective methods of cost control and cost reduction that are unique to this population.
“Indian IT Service companies with operations in the US face a multitude of challenges posed by their business model,
and there are increasing pressures on this due to the fast changing regulatory and economic environments. Hanna
Global Solutions has worked along with the pioneers in the IT Service Industry in India right from its inception, and we
are excited to bring this unique solution that would help the industry overall,” said Mathew Augustine, COO, Hanna
Global Solutions.
