  • Publication number: 20220366474
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for providing subscription product recommendations can identify, from trained data models, cost-driving factors impacting costs of subscription products offered by a provider. The data models can be trained with claims data from a member population with multiple years of claims data. The cost-driving factors can correspond to attributes of the claims data in a first year that predict future costs in a following year. Requests for product recommendations include responses to questions each associated with a cost-driving factor. Based on the responses, the member can be mapped to a cluster grouping associated with a projected cost to the member for a subscription product. Recommendations can be generated based on an economic equivalent score for each subscription product reflecting the respective projected cost and one or more adjustment factors indicating an impact of one or more qualitative factors on subscription product selection choices.
