In May of this year, Statera was proudly integrated with Clinician Nexus, both of which are part of SCH Capital Holdings, Inc. A short time later, at an onsite meeting in Minneapolis, we began the hard work of merging our teams and forging a new path forward.
We chose stealth mode, and we chose to build from a clean slate.
We’ve been quietly building a platform that reimagines what compensation management should be – not just for the analysts drowning in spreadsheets at 6:30pm on a Friday, but for the CFOs who need strategic intelligence, the clinicians who deserve transparency, and the organizations trying to make million-dollar decisions with incomplete information.
Here’s what we decided: We’re not going to iterate. We’re building anew.
Why Start Over?
Because we could. When you combine our new team’s deep compensation design expertise, our platform’s capabilities, and our firm’s market intelligence – and then are given permission to build the thing you’ve always wanted to build – you don’t just make it incrementally better. You make it right.
We’ve seen too many compensation teams operating in survival mode:
- 1:125 analyst-to-clinician ratios.
- Manual data manipulation that takes hours.
- Logic built into spreadsheets that only one person understands.
- Strategic questions that go unanswered because there’s no time, no bandwidth, and no system that can surface the insights that matter.
We’ve watched organizations implement systems that promise transformation but deliver more complexity. And, and if we’re being honest with ourselves, those implementations include some of our own. No product currently on the market meets our industry’s expectations.
So we asked ourselves: What if we built true compensation intelligence rather than just compensation administration?
What Compensation Intelligence Actually Means
Compensation intelligence means many things, including:
- Modifier logic that adapts to your fee schedules automatically, not through custom scripts that break when someone changes something upstream.
- OB complexity tagging and pooled RVU workflows that understand your specialty-specific nuances without requiring workarounds.
- Duplicate detection that’s intelligent enough to flag rural health clinic billing patterns before they become a problem.
- Benchmark integration that doesn’t require late-night Excel formulas to answer whether your cardiologists are performing at the market median.
- Contract ingestion that automatically drafts compensation models and tracks guarantee periods without anyone having to manually prorate thresholds every quarter.
More than any single feature, though, it means this: Your compensation team gets to think strategically, rather than tactically.
Who Compensation Intelligence Is For
We’re building for organizations with employed clinicians who are tired of compensation management feeling like crisis management. For CFOs who need board-level intelligence instead of just numbers. For analysts who became analysts because they wanted to solve problems, not because they enjoy reformatting CSV files.
We’re building for compensation directors who have a dozen ideas for improving their programs but lack the bandwidth to implement them. For medical groups undergoing mergers that need to harmonize plans across different systems. For the health systems launching residency programs and realizing that their current tools can’t handle the complexity.
What’s Next
We’re currently working with design partners who are helping us build this right, not just fast. We’re testing with real data, real workflows, and real complexity. We’re learning where our assumptions hold and where they need refinement.
In the coming months, we’ll share more about what we’re building. We’ll show you the visual logic builder in action. We’ll demonstrate how task orchestration actually works when it’s intelligent. We’ll demonstrate that compensation intelligence isn’t just marketing language – it’s a fundamentally different approach to operating.
However, today we wanted to let you know: We’re no longer in stealth mode.
We’re building the compensation intelligence platform that should have existed all along. The one that treats compensation management as strategic and not just administrative. The one that assumes analysts are smart, not that they need to be programmers. The one that understands health care compensation is complex and builds for that complexity instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
We decided to build it right.
And we think you’ll love what comes next.
