Population Health Programs
Unique population heath programs that no major carrier or TPA can match
We believe that healthcare begins long before one of our members becomes sick or hurt. Our advanced data analytics help make substantial improvements in health management. We use this information to support members through these programs.
TopCare™ connects members with the highest quality in-network providers and facilities, working with each member to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve.
This value-driven guided service builds on the best data resources in the industry to generate recommendations based on five key criteria:
- Inpatient quality
- Patient Safety
- Complications
- Readmissions
- Mortality
We also monitor care transition, care goals, provider communication, staff responsiveness, and post-discharge information across providers, creating a concierge-style experience for members but with reasonable, carefully managed costs.
Continental Benefits’ clinical care programs reach across medical disciplines to provide a unified, integrated approach to care. Members receive targeted care from high-quality providers – and without unnecessary treatments or unwarranted expense.
CB Care Advocate – Our comprehensive care management solution increases health and wellbeing engagement throughout the workforce, with a particular focus on higher risk populations.

GIThrive – Gastrointestinal issues represent one of the most common and most expensive areas of health management. They also represent one of the most straight-forward opportunities to promote a healthier lifestyle and generate rapid positive results.

Orthobiologics – Continental Benefits helps members recover faster from orthopedic procedures when the appropriate application of advanced orthobiologic therapies provide a clear, cost-effective benefit over more invasive approaches to healing.
CancerCare – Cancer affects more than just the patient. Continental Benefits helps members and employers with a holistic approach, treating not just the disease, but its extended impact, from diagnosis and economic impact through recovery.
Pharmaceutical costs represent a significant and rapidly growing proportion of healthcare costs. At the same time, managing those expenses increases in complexity every year. Continental Benefits helps reduce the burden on employers and members through:
- Best-in-class pharmacy pricing through Continental Benefits’ national reach and partnerships
- Data-driven analyses to ensure appropriate therapy and minimize risk from drug interactions
- Active pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) oversight to promote access, control costs, and direct appropriate discounts back to each employer or member
Pharmacogenomics – Continental Benefits works aggressively to assess and provide newly developed precision medicine for members, starting with pharmacogenomics that analyze how the individual genetic makeup of an individual affects their response to medications. This information provides insights that providers use to select the most appropriate drugs and dosages when treating challenging diagnoses while also minimizing costly adverse drug events.
Comprehensive Analytics
We give you and your customers complete access to your data to better understand how business and personal decisions impact both costs and results. We work with leading data and analytics providers to make sure that these comparisons operate consistently across providers and health systems.
