40 Top-Rated Payer Technology Vendors Exhibiting at AHIP 2025, Black Book Honors

Independent Survey Highlights Leading Vendors Driving Innovation in Managed Care IT Ahead of the AHIP 2025 Conference in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 /As the managed care landscape faces a convergence of regulatory disruption, rising costs, and consumer expectations for digitally enhanced experiences, payer organizations are accelerating the adoption of technology platforms that deliver measurable performance gains. In this environment of transformation, Black Book Research today released its list of forty top-rated payer technology vendors, all scheduled exhibitors at the upcoming AHIP 2025 Conference, June 16-18 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

These vendors were identified through Black Book 's rigorous satisfaction and outcomes polling conducted from Q4 2024 through Q2 2025. The evaluations reflect responses from 9,106 health plan and managed care leaders, offering a statistically sound, vendor-agnostic snapshot of the solutions generating the highest satisfaction scores across dozens of payer IT categories. Black Book 's Payer IT Solutions Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) uniquely capture the true user experience by prioritizing qualitative metrics such as trust, accountability, reliability, and customer responsiveness drawn directly from frontline health plan users, enabling a comprehensive, unbiased assessment of vendor performance that goes far beyond traditional functionality, NPS, or market share rankings.

The survey findings underscore a major shift in technology priorities among health insurers and third-party administrators," said Doug Brown, MHA, President of Black Book. "Health plans are rapidly aligning with vendors that offer next-generation solutions in core functional areas including value-based care optimization, prior authorization automation, chronic disease and population health management, real-time interoperability, and cloud-based administrative systems. Our polling clearly illustrates that payers are increasingly selective, prioritizing vendors that directly address the sector 's most complex and immediate challenges. These top user-rated vendors have distinguished themselves through superior client satisfaction, innovative technology solutions, and measurable impacts on operational and financial outcomes. AHIP attendees will find these vendors essential partners in their strategic planning and technology roadmaps."
