Platform Updates

Network Availability: Search and View

Access available networks via the "Plans" icon. You can review and search available networks without contacting the Handl team.

Secure File Transfer Now Available

You can now securely upload and transfer sensitive files in Iris, giving clients a trusted channel for sharing confidential data.

In-App Resources and Support

Click the “?” icon to access the in-app Resource Hub. It houses documentation,  templates  and release notes, organized by dataset, so your team can find reference material without leaving Iris.

Imputation Indicators for Top Hospital Chart

Hovering over an info icon will now show the derived percentage for each provider. This allows you to easily identify when there is a higher percentage of imputation.

Provider Weights Upload Tooltip

We’ve added a tooltip defining market-based providers to improve clarity for clients navigating an analysis for the first time.

Claims Repricing

ICD-10 to DRG Mapping Improves Inpatient Repricing

Claims files can now include an optional ICD-10 column. When DRG codes are not available in the claim file, Iris can use ICD-10 codes to map claims to the appropriate DRG, improving inpatient repricing.

Larger File Support

Claims repricing now handles claim files up to approximately 100MB.

Rate Lookup Updates

In-Network Claims Average

Rate Lookup now includes a benchmark column showing the claim-volume-weighted average of in-network allowed amounts. Where local data is limited, it falls back from MSA to state to national. This is available at both NPI and provider-type level.

Improved Usability and Guidance

"Edit Columns" is now "Customize Table." The provider type dropdown is now grouped by Facility and Provider, and tooltips have been added to explain disabled filters.

Column Tooltips

Tooltip definitions have been added to all Rate Lookup column headers, so clients can easily understand what each benchmark represents.

Regional Benchmark & Cash Rates

Both columns now populate when searching by provider type, not only when an NPI is selected, giving benchmark context earlier in the workflow.

Reports

More Precise Percentage Savings

Cost-relativity percentages are now displayed to one decimal place. This change makes a real difference when comparing options at the margins.

File Upload Duplication

Reports built with a census or provider weights file can now be duplicated, saving time when building similar analyses across clients or plan designs.

Care Steerage Census Upload

Census upload is now available in Care Steerage, bringing upload parity across report types.

MSA Breakdown Export

You can now download the MSA breakdown directly from a census upload for use in client deliverables or further analysis.
