| MILWAUKEE, Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Advicent announced today it has launched NaviPlan® 19.3, enabling financial professionals to leverage a robust healthcare dataset to deliver more accurate healthcare cost projections. These forecasts can be delivered in two ways: 1) through the new NaviPlan Guided Retirement tool—a two-minute guided workflow designed to demonstrate an advisor’s value, and 2) through the comprehensive planning experience of the NaviPlan financial planning platform, both of which provide granular insight into how healthcare costs impact an investor’s retirement spending. Advisors can utilize these estimates to collaborate with clients and craft financial plans which address strategies for meeting healthcare needs in retirement.
Advicent has partnered with Aivante, a healthcare analytics company offering solutions for optimizing healthcare planning decisions, to make the latter’s smart data accessible to clients and prospects within NaviPlan through advanced APIs. Investors can securely enter information about their health, location, goals, and other factors in the Guided Retirement tool, and Aivante’s analytics can forecast how much they would likely need to cover all healthcare expenses during retirement. Then, NaviPlan can demonstrate an investor’s likely healthcare expenses, alongside leisure and living expenses, in different phases of retirement using comprehensive visual illustrations. The NaviPlan Guided Retirement tool is available at https://www.advicentsolutions.com/features/guided-retirement. In addition to providing investors with a call to action to contact their advisors, financial professionals can use the healthcare expense assumptions in the NaviPlan Guided Retirement tool to begin meaningful planning conversations with clients and prospects. “Healthcare costs have risen dramatically in the U.S. over the past several decades, and as life expectancies also increase, many investors are understandably concerned about their ability to cover medical expenses in retirement,” said Angela Pecoraro, Chief Executive Officer of Advicent. “Our most recent enhancements to NaviPlan, and our strategic relationship with Aivante, provide financial advisors with specialized data and analytics to help investors make smarter assumptions about healthcare expenses in retirement—and use this information to take planning discussions to the next level.” Advicent rolled out self-directed APIs giving enterprise firms the ability to build different customized digital experiences for clients and prospects in NaviPlan earlier this year. These experiences can include self-directed retirement illustrations powered by smart planning assumptions which are now enhanced with Aivante data and analytics.
