Streamlining the claims adjudication process


From selection and implementation of new platforms to upgrades and optimization of existing operations, we can help streamline the process. We offer clients deep and unique expertise with system integrations, data analytics, development and refinement of internal controls, regulatory guidelines impacting payment integrity, as well as common claim scrubber pitfalls that contribute to erroneous payments. This includes audit and assessment of third-party administrator (TPA) and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) partners. We also provide strategic guidance to aid in the development, deployment and optimization of value-based care models driving the need for greater collaboration and transparency between payers and providers. Our experts effectively and efficiently identify and provide solutions to remedy issues contributing to waste in the claims adjudication process - aligning the people, process and technology required for peak performance.

Solutions:

  • Strategic Planning - healthcare reform is a driving force for increased innovation between payers and providers. Reducing cost and improving the quality of care requires strategic planning, execution and continuous monitoring to ensure profitability under new payment models. We provide thought leadership to design, implement and measure outcomes to maximize value-based care and fee-for-service product lines.
  • Selection of New Technology - Whether drafting a request for proposal (RFP) or planning for an implementation, we can help manage the process of onboarding new technology. We can help evaluate vendors as well as features and functions to ensure the best fit.
  • Platform Upgrades - Our advisors can assist in the assessment and identification of downstream ramifications associated with version changes and upgrades to help safeguard against unintended changes that can hinder workflows.
