Partnership Brings Actuarial Validation to Price Transparency-Based Network Analysis for Employer Groups of Any Size.
Posted on: 2026-05-20

May 20, 2026, Boston, MA
Deerhold, a leader in healthcare price transparency data and network intelligence, today announced a new offering that makes actuarial review and sign-off of network evaluations accessible to brokers and advisors on a per-report, per-employer-group basis. Through a partnership with Windsor Strategy Partners, a leading healthcare actuarial firm, Deerhold-produced employer group reports can now obtain formal actuarial review and sign-off on their PRIZM-generated network evaluations — without the cost or timeline of a traditional actuarial engagement.
Until now actuarially signed network analyses have typically only been accessible to brokers and advisors through costly engagements with large consulting firms. Deerhold and Windsor Strategy Partners are removing this limitation by offering Windsor’s actuarial review with professional sign-off directly in the PRIZM reporting output. This enables any broker or advisor to obtain an independently validated, actuarially signed network comparison on behalf of their clients. Sign-offs can be requested on a report-by-report basis, per group, or on demand.
The offering gives Deerhold clients that license PRIZM Networks—as well as brokers who engage Deerhold to produce individual employer group reports—a formal deliverable prepared in accordance with generally recognized and accepted actuarial principles and practices.
Windsor Strategy Partners reviews the underlying data sourcing methodology, normalization approach, and completeness framework, and provides a professional sign-off by a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) and Member of the American Academy of Actuaries (MAAA). The review of findings includes a qualifications statement, scope description, review findings, and report limitations.
“Transparency data is current, contracted, and verifiable — but the market needed an actuarial voice to stand behind it. Windsor Strategy Partners provides that. Their review and sign-off gives brokers and their clients real confidence that what they're looking at reflects the market today, not what they paid two years ago.”— Jeff Gasser, CEO, Deerhold
“Deerhold has built something the market has genuinely needed — a network analysis platform grounded in current, contracted rate data. Windsor's role is to bring our actuarial review to that output so brokers have a professionally signed deliverable they can present with confidence. We see this as a meaningful step forward for how network evaluations are done at the employer group level."
— Dave Wilson, President and Founder, Windsor Strategy Partners
The PRIZM Actuarial Review by Windsor Strategy Partners is available now.
Deerhold clients that are currently subscribed to the PRIZM platform can purchase the Actuarial Review & Sign-Off for any individual employer group report they generate through the platform.
Brokers and advisors who don’t have a PRIZM subscription can work with Deerhold directly to obtain a fully prepared, client-ready employer group network comparison report—with the Windsor sign-off included.
