The Employer-Side Forecasting Layer

The Leading Indicator Layer
for Enterprise Healthcare Cost.

Healthcare cost is the most expensive line item enterprise leaders cannot forecast. Continuous workforce metabolic signals exist long before they appear as claims. Metra converts those signals into a thirty, sixty, and ninety day forecast of cost exposure, the leading indicator that finance, human resources, and benefits leadership have never had against the metabolic syndrome cluster that produces most of the spend — type two diabetes, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, and coronary heart disease.
