Health Alliance Medical Plans chooses Luster Software, Inc. (LSI) for custom user web portal development integrated with their QNXT © core system, provided by Trizetto ©. The new Health Alliance web application, titled eHealthAlliance, will bring advanced functionality for visitors, providers, members, office managers, employer groups and Health Alliance’s internal staff. The enhancements to the system are expected to reduce costs and improve user satisfaction.

“Luster Software is pleased to work with Health Alliance on this exciting and challenging project,” comments Doug Davison, President of Luster Software, Inc. “We’re committed to expanding and enhancing the user experience for Health Alliance’s constituents, while reducing implementation and maintenance costs for Health Alliance going forward. We believe that staying at the front of the healthcare industry is going to require flexibility and forward thinking, and Luster Software is ideally suited to meet that challenge.”

Under this agreement, Health Alliance will retain ownership of the eHealthAlliance web application while Luster Software will have exclusive resale and support rights.

“With new and improved functions and an updated look, Health Alliance hopes to improve the online experience of our members, employer groups, providers and brokers. LSI has worked on numerous projects with Health Alliance since 2004 and was the logical choice due to their successful track record and in-depth knowledge of our industry” says Health Alliance Vice President of Communications, Jane Hayes.
