BlueInsights is the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) employer reporting platform that provides self-service analytics on cost, utilization, and clinical measures—complete with print-ready report packaging. For access to BlueInsights, brokers may contact any of their BCBSRI account executives.

Here are some tips to help you get the most from BlueInsights.

New: Time-trending in presentation reports

This feature enables users to schedule presentation reports, such as the Cost & Utilization Key Indicators report, that will generate on a recurring basis using the client’s most current available data. For example, if you were to refresh Client A’s data in September 2021 and then select a paid period of "last 12 months,” you could expect to see 09/2020-08/2021 as the paid months in the report. This eliminates the need to change the dates each month, creating an automated recurring report.

Featured report: Enrollment by Coverage Type

The Enrollment by Coverage Type summary report provides a year-over-year trend of membership broken down by coverage types; specifically, medical, dental, and pharmacy. Like all reports, this can be customized based on the purpose of the analysis.
