Background
AXIACI was created because in our consulting work, we needed to look across commercial and government
market segments and subsegments, find the answers to detailed coverage and access questions, and tie together
covered lives, states, carriers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and non-government and government employers in order to determine prevalence at
the state and national level. We tried to find an existing source that met these needs but have not found a single,
integrated resource ready to be leveraged for information and insights from either a top-down or bottom-up
patient, provider, or other stakeholder's experience.
There are many data sets and information repositories, but they suffer in
the same way our entire health care system suffers: they are fragmented with multiyear lag times and the underlying sources they draw from are generally
in response to a specific set of transactional or regulatory purposes for
single or multiple stakeholders.
The data and information are gathered in a variety of ways (self-report, survey, operational transactions, and more). There are limited
ways to connect disparate data sets. Equally important, there is no
integrated library of underlying source documents that can be easily
accessed. Product developers, service providers, researchers, and policy
makers have been working around these gaps to inform critical decisions
for decades.
We simply could not find an integrated, single source with the detailed
coverage and access information and data that we needed to rapidly respond
to our partners’ business challenges.
So, We Created One!
-
An expanding library of source objects across all commercial and government health insurance products and
offerings, in all market segments and programs, from all payer types
-
Cataloging system and methods tying them to the associated number of covered lives at the national and
state level
-
Attribute creation and extraction engine necessary to develop the detailed coverage and access data points
and insights that our public and private partners have required
-
A refined, centralized information repository with actionable insights and intel already developed and ready to use
-
A user-friendly platform to access the continually growing data sets and visualizations of key insights our
partners need to inform their critical strategic decisions
-
Ready to use information, data, insights and intel on coverage and access to health care services, prescription
drugs, and devices, beyond what is currently available from traditional and transactional data sources
