New Digital Insurance Research Reveals How Firms are Deploying AI, What They're Getting in ROI and How Strategies are Evolving
AI adoption is accelerating in insurance - from pilot project to enterprise strategy - but costs and other factors threaten to slow momentum. NEW YORK, NY / / July 1, 2025 / Digital Insurance, a leading information resource for executives and innovators in the insurance sector, releases its latest research report, The Cost of AI: The AI Revolution Gathers Steam. Sponsored by Salesforce, the findings reveal adoption of artificial intelligence is rising in the insurance industry, with more than half expecting to implement it within 12 to 18 months - and many already seeing returns. AI is moving from pilot project to enterprise strategy for some organizations, with a growing number of companies already seeing returns on their investments. But as AI deployments scale, so do the price tags - and industry professionals may face tough choices about how to modernize, budget and prioritize. The research offers fresh insight into how industry organizations are implementing AI, what they're prioritizing and what's standing in the way of broader success. Based on proprietary research with professionals across the insurance industry, the report reveals how different types of organizations are navigating this next phase of transformation. Key takeaways include: Where companies are finding the most value from their AI investments - and where results are falling short What's driving organizations to move faster and what's holding others back How generative AI is reshaping the conversation around customer experience What companies are spending now and how that's expected to shift in the year ahead "AI investments are already paying off, particularly for firms that have implemented them aggressively to improve efficiency," says Janet King, SVP, Content Strategy, Research at Arizent, parent company of Digital Insurance. "At this point in the adoption curve, the most advanced companies appear to see more opportunities to reap positive returns, suggesting those at the leading edge could remain in that position for some time." The data indicates nearly all organizations expect their AI spending to increase to some extent over the next 12 months. Only a few companies expect their spending to remain level or decrease. Organizations that trail their peers will need to accelerate their strategies as much as possible or risk falling further behind as early adopters continue to expand their capabilities.

Quantum Health Sets New Standard for Transparency and Value in Healthcare Navigation Amid Growing Employer Concerns About Escalating Costs
DUBLIN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 30, 2025-- Quantum Health, the creator of healthcare navigation, today announced the launch of its new comprehensive intervention and value reporting capability, Action to Impact, which proves – at the member level – how its healthcare navigation model reduces costs, improves outcomes and enhances employee experience. Powered by a dynamic AI engine and 25 years of proprietary data, Action to Impact provides transparent, actionable evidence, connecting specific navigation actions to quantifiable results. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: This launch comes at a time when self-insured employers are demanding more from their healthcare and benefits investments. According to the newly released State of Healthcare Survey 2025: The Transformative Power of Trust in Healthcare by Arizent and Employee Benefit News (EBN), sponsored by Quantum Health, 79% of employers identified company cost as the top concern they are focused on addressing in their latest annual benefits cycle. While these value-driving interactions have long been part of Quantum's model, Action to Impact offers a new way to package and share insights with clients and consultants, while giving internal teams real-time feedback for continuous improvement. The solution connects every touchpoint, from navigation and steerage to clinical support, continuously optimizing member and provider experiences to improve clinical, financial and satisfaction outcomes. By transforming traditional ROI into specific, actionable insights, Quantum Health proves the value of its interventions for each client. 'Proving our ability to drive better outcomes at a lower cost has never been more essential. Today's clients expect more than anecdotes — they demand data-driven answers to their most pressing questions,' said Chris Reed, Director of Value Creation at Quantum Health. 'Employers want specifics: What actions were taken? What actually worked? With Action to Impact, Quantum Health delivers those answers through advanced analytics that quantify how navigation interventions reduce costs and improve outcomes.' At the heart of Quantum Health's approach is its proprietary Real-Time Intercept® (RTI) platform, which enables member engagement an average of 110 days before the first claim — often before costs or complexity escalate. These early 'value moments' offer critical opportunities to influence care decisions and outcomes, allowing Quantum Health clients to achieve better health and financial results through meaningful, proactive engagement. These results are independently validated by MorningStar Actuarial Consulting, whose study of 2018-2022 claims data finds that Quantum Health's navigation and care coordination solution produces substantial and steadily accumulating ROI. Why This Matters — Self-insured employers are under pressure to do more with less – and prove it. As HR teams seek to optimize every dollar spent, Quantum Health's Action to Impact analytics deliver the insight needed to rise to that challenge. 'Trust is a key part of the value equation for employees,' said Kerry Gross, Director of Research Intelligence at Arizent. 'Those who trust that the entities supporting their care have their best interests in mind are more likely to get preventive primary care and more likely to be satisfied with their overall wellness offerings.' Employers are turning to data to guide their healthcare decisions. The EBN State of Healthcare survey indicates that utilization data (88%) and insurance claims data (84%) are reported as the most trusted sources. Meanwhile, 53% of employers say they are confident their navigation partner can demonstrate how member engagement translates into cost savings. Still, just under half are only somewhat or slightly confident that engagement and cost savings data is being clearly tied together. 'We don't just show engagement metrics — we connect them to real savings, better care and improved member experiences,' added Reed. 'Our enhanced reporting pinpoints the most complex journeys, identifies where the greatest value is created, and outlines next steps to maximize results. As our dataset matures, insights become even more predictive, helping clients stay ahead of emerging challenges.'

Global Partners objects to Applegreen's Massachusetts project win
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. Last week, Applegreen received approval to rebuild and operate 18 travel plazas along major Massachusetts roads, including the state's main Turnpike, as part of the 35-year lease agreement with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The MDT approved Applegreen's pitch to take over the plazas over the course of two meetings on June 11 and 18. In the first of those, Scott Bosworth, chief of transit with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, said that the MDT chose Applegreen's proposal over those from several other notable convenience retailers, including Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, 7-Eleven, RaceTrac and Energy North Group, which operates the Haffner's c-store banner on the East Coast. That list also included Waltham, Massachusetts-based Global Partners, which has publicly expressed its frustration with the MDT's decision in the days since it came down. Global Partners emphasized that its proposal was more cost-effective than Applegreen's and is pushing the MDT to keep the state's infrastructure local instead of working with a foreign company. Global Partners said in a June 13 announcement opposing the MDT's decision that its pitch for the travel plazas included over $1.5 billion in guaranteed rent and $650 million in capital improvements. While Applegreen's accepted pitch included $750 million in capital improvements, it is expected to bring in between $623 million and $994 million over the lifetime of the deal, according to the MDT's June 18 meeting. 'In a decision that defies logic and long-term fiscal responsibility, MassDOT recently awarded the 35-year MA Pike rest-stop lease to a bidder offering nearly $900 million LESS in rent than Global Partners' local offer,' Global Partners said in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday that has since been deleted. 'That's $900 million that could have helped offset budget gaps, fix roads and bridges, and spare taxpayers from looming toll hikes and excise increases.' Bosworth said in the June 18 meeting that Applegreen's pitch included three types of plaza designs: coastal, metro and western, all of which will be deployed depending on which part of the state each store is in. While each location will be slightly different, they'll all focus on creating more dwell time for consumers. Meanwhile, Global Partners' pitch included strategic partnerships with local food companies and regional QSRs, as well as an increased focus on 'guest experience, sustainability, and equity,' according to its June 14 announcement. It did not mention anything regarding store designs. 'Our proposal wasn't just financially stronger; it was built on our 90-year history of local investment, partnerships with homegrown businesses, and a vision for infrastructure that reflects the Commonwealth's identity,' Mark Romaine, chief operating officer for Global Partners, said in the June 14 announcement. 'This isn't just about who operates a travel plaza — it's about who we are as a state.' Global Partners is urging residents to contact Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and state legislators 'to demand transparency, accountability, and a deal that puts Massachusetts first' in an attempt to reverse the MDT's decision. 'This fight for Massachusetts is not over,' the company said in a June 18 statement. 'As MassDOT enters the next phase of the bid process, we hope they will truly consider what they're giving up for the Commonwealth and weigh the risks before signing a lease.'
