Analytics-Powered Solutions That Make Your Benefits Plan Stronger

We’re very impressed by Cubic’s level of compassion and caring, customer service, attention to detail, and the range of ways they can provide insight into our plans challenges and opportunities through data analytics. To my mind, the work Cubic is doing is critical to the long-term sustainability of benefit plans everywhere.

We want to ensure that the members of the IBEW Local 353 and their families can access the drug treatments they need, in their time of need. Continually escalating specialty drug costs make this especially challenging. Cubic helps us to ensure that plan members are getting appropriate treatment with proven efficacy, and that the plan is not funding unnecessary or experimental treatment costs. We avoid paying for higher costs drugs when there are lower cost, more effective treatments available so that we can fund those higher cost necessary drugs when needed. This aligns very well with our focus on plan sustainability, and also does right by the plan’s members.

The team at Cubic has brought an energy and vibrancy to our association that is helping us evolve. They are strong leaders in the areas of health care and benefit plan analytics, and their focus on long-term plan sustainability and program development provides an excellent model for those who work with them. Through their professionalism, advanced analytics, and creative ideas, they have helped us redefine our association, and their influence will be felt by our membership for years to come.

Our partnership with Cubic spans more than a decade and has evolved to the point where our teams are seamlessly integrated. What stands out in my eyes in working with Cubic has been the sophistication and precision of their predictive analytics, their ability to customize needed solutions and the excellence with which their solutions are implemented and delivered. We look forward to the next decade of our partnership.

asrTrust was set up with a one-time financial contribution, requiring us to manage our benefits spending very intelligently. Our drug plan is our largest single expense and the one that presents the highest risk. We depend on Cubic’s analytics and evidence-based solutions to manage that risk and ensure the long-term sustainability of the health benefits we provide to over 70,000 retired auto workers and their spouses. We trust Cubic – they always have the best interests of our Trust and our members at heart and always deliver on their promises. With Cubic, we don’t have a vendor, we have a trusted partner.

Following a seamless implementation at the beginning of 2021, the FACET Program has met our business objectives and obligation to ensure we are doing everything we can to get the best value out of our benefits program. While we previously had Prior Authorization in place, we are so much more confident that the FACET Team is protecting the sustainability of our plan while taking better care of our employees and their families.
