Ringmaster and The OccuNet Company Announce Strategic Marketing Alliance to Streamline the Quoting of Stop-loss and Reference-Based Pricing
Boca Raton, FL – April 2025 – Ringmaster Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in cloud-based software solutions for stop-loss and pharmacy procurement, today announced a Strategic Marketing Alliance with The OccuNet Company, a leading innovator in healthcare cost containment. This partnership is set to expand the reach and impact of both organizations, delivering data-driven tools and services that empower brokers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and consultants to better control rising healthcare costs and achieve improved financial outcomes.
Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) has far-reaching benefits across the healthcare spectrum. Members benefit from lower plan contributions, stop-loss carriers face fewer high-cost claims, and procedural costs decrease due to the elimination of network access fees and reduced claim spending—ultimately lowering stop-loss premiums.
“Every self-funded employer should consider how Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) will affect their health plan,” said Todd Roberti, CEO of Ringmaster Technologies. “In addition to reducing medical claims costs, RBP influences risk assessment and pricing for stop-loss underwriters. Our Quote-LinQ software will provide clients with side-by-side stop-loss quotes comparing network discounts to RBP discounts, including associated premiums. This level of automation significantly reduces RFP turnaround time. It’s a true game changer for the industry.”
“As more employers recognize the strategic and financial advantages of Reference-Based Pricing, Fairos stands out as the most effective solution—seamlessly integrating RBP with Direct Provider Agreements and concierge level member advocacy and navigation to reduce annual medical costs by 30% or more,” said Chase Fairly, Managing Partner of Growth at The OccuNet Company. “With the added flexibility of Dual Option plans, Fairos complements traditional networks and empowers employers to rethink plan design. And with tools like Quote-LinQ delivering instant, side-by-side stop-loss comparisons, the path to smarter, data-driven healthcare decisions has never been clearer.”
