Public factsBenefits administration and healthcare navigation
Large-employer benefits platform (Alight Worklife) with Healthcare Navigation, Health Pros, Medical Allies, SmartSelect MD, and LumenAI.
Overview
Alight is a benefits-administration company that also sells Healthcare Navigation on the Alight Worklife platform. Public pages say Alight administers benefits for over 30 million people, manages 180 million interactions annually and $1.7 trillion in assets, and partners with a majority of the Fortune 100 and a significant number of Fortune 500 companies. Worklife is described as an open-architecture hub that can integrate more than 600 HR and benefits tools. Navigation includes Health Pro and Medical Ally support (coverage verification, scheduling, records, care coordination), SmartSelect MD provider search, clinical/behavioral/cancer guidance, expert medical opinion, and surgery decision support for named procedures. LumenAI is the AI engine behind Worklife. An FAQ states navigation services are typically included in health benefits packages.
Why it matters Alight is the default navigation add-on for many jumbo groups already on Worklife—different from buying a specialist navigator if administration is staying at Alight.
- Target buyer
- Large and global employers (Alight’s public form starts at under 3,000 employees up through 15,000+) that already need enterprise benefits administration and want carrier-agnostic navigation in the same platform.
- Pricing model
- Not published; enterprise / quote-based. Navigation often packaged with health benefits administration.
- No public PEPM. FAQ: navigation is typically included in health benefits packages. Alight markets guaranteed ROI on some health solutions (Alight Total Health) without publishing the guarantee terms on the captured pages. A Worklife page mentions ROI achieved by a consumer-goods manufacturer within nine months of investing in Alight healthcare navigation (no dollar figure in the snippet used here).

Healthcare Navigation is a distinct health-benefits product. Alight says analytics produce tailored recommendations for high-quality, low-cost options. Employees get unbiased plan-selection help and year-round support for medical, dental, and vision. Health Pros and Medical Allies verify coverage, schedule appointments, transfer records, and coordinate care. Access is through the Alight portal or by phone. A FAQ says navigation services are typically included in health benefits packages and that teams can help with billing and claims questions.
Named navigation modules: Clinical Guidance; Behavioral Health Guidance; Cancer Guidance; Expert Medical Opinion; SmartSelect MD (patented provider search); Surgery Decision Support for lower back surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement, hysterectomy, and weight-loss surgery. Alight describes the navigation model as carrier-agnostic in blog commentary. A Siemens Energy case study is promoted for Worklife plus Healthcare Navigation.
