Healthcare insurance data represent a rich source of informa-tion and has the potential to contribute signi cantly in guid-ing business decision making. In this work we present Gra-Phys, a Graph Analysis platform designed for exploration,visualization and analysis of healthcare insurance data andits corresponding metadata. By taking advantage of rela-tionships contained in healthcare claims data, we are ableto apply Graph Analytics methods and algorithms in or-der to devise useful business metrics to guide data analysisand exploration. Our tool focuses in better understandingphysicians, patients and their practices. We illustrate our approach by demonstrating two use cases where we showhow graph analytics metrics, combined with other data, maylead to useful insights not directly available to traditionalBusiness Analytics.
