Clarity in a Complex
Healthcare Landscape

We implement modern healthcare data platforms on Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, grounded in the Tuva data model and built for payers, providers, and health tech.

Senior-only team

Two principal consultants on every engagement. No junior handoffs.

Security, by default

Delivery in your cloud/warehouse, least-privilege access, and minimal PHI movement. BAAs available when required.

Platform-native builds

Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks. No vendor lock-in and no black-box platforms.

Core Capabilities

Platform implementation, healthcare data modeling, and in-warehouse analytics products.

Tuva Data Model & Platform Implementation

End-to-end implementation of the Tuva data model on Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks. We design and build custom marts, connectors, orchestration, and ETL tailored to your payer, provider, or health-tech use cases.

In-Warehouse EMPI (Enterprise Master Patient Index)

Probabilistic matching and patient identity resolution that runs entirely inside your data warehouse, so no PHI leaves your environment. Deployable on Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery.

Medicare Benchmarks & Member-Level Expected Values

Custom models derived from Medicare data that estimate predicted spend and expected cost, utilization, and quality at the member level. Machine learning pipelines run directly in your warehouse, so you keep control of data, IP, and performance.

Our URL Method for Trusted Healthcare Data

Fancy platforms don’t matter if users don’t trust the numbers. Our URL method keeps your data trustworthy and usable. URL stands for Universe, Reconcile, and Look.

U

Universe of Data

Most analytics only touch a thin slice of your data. We design your platform to bring the universe of relevant data into one model: claims, eligibility, clinical, operational, and reference sources.

That means your questions aren’t constrained by a predefined subset, and you don’t need a new project every time a new data source shows up.

R

Reconcile Your Data

After ETL and transformations, we don’t just hope the numbers are right. We prove it. We reconcile key measures back to legacy systems and source-of-truth reports.

We compare counts, dollars, and other critical metrics so teams can see that “before” and “after” totals match expectations. That reconciliation is what builds trust in a new platform.

L

Look at the Data

Analyst review is where results get validated. We sanity-check outputs, investigate outliers, and pressure-test measures against what is typical for similar populations and data sources. We know what reasonable looks like and can spot when a number is “technically correct” but operationally wrong.

Automated checks can cover completeness and basic validity, but they won’t catch everything. Human review surfaces the issues that rules miss and helps teams trust the platform.

In-Warehouse Healthcare Data Products

Deployable accelerators that run directly on your data warehouse. No external SaaS and no data movement.

EMPI for Modern Data Warehouses

Enterprise Master Patient Index logic implemented as SQL, Python, and warehouse-native compute. Designed for Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery.

  • No PHI leaves your cloud environment
  • Transparent matching rules and tunable thresholds
  • Batch and incremental processing options

Medicare Benchmark & Risk Models

Benchmark models built from Medicare data to generate expected values at the member level for cost, utilization, and quality. Delivered as warehouse-native ML pipelines.

  • Member-level expected values for actionable variance analysis
  • Configurable to your populations and benefit designs
  • Runs directly where your data already lives

Small Team. Big Impact.

Illuminate Health is a two-partner healthcare data consultancy focused on making complex payer and provider data usable. We specialize in platform implementation, data modeling, and in-warehouse analytics products.

As a boutique firm, we offer what large integrators cannot: agility, direct access to senior experts, and specialized industry knowledge without the ramp-up time.

We use a straightforward URL approach: Universe of data, reconcile the numbers, and look at the results. Stakeholders can see exactly how the new platform earns their trust.

Security by Architecture

We bring the code to your data, not your data to our code. By operating entirely within your existing cloud environment (Snowflake, Fabric, Databricks, or BigQuery), no PHI ever touches our servers.

We act as an extension of your team, utilizing your IAM policies, audit logs, and security controls. Standard Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) available for all engagements.
