Providers and Health Plans Collaborate to
Lower Costs and Improve Outcomes

The current relationship between payer and provider is fraught
with inefficiency, manual administration and unnecessary costs.

As the complex world of contracting and claim adjudication evolves, payers and providers have an ever-greater imperative to employ better engagement tools that create gains in efficiency, transparency, and allow for faster resolution and ultimate avoidance of billing and reimbursement issues.

The Health Plan-Provider Relationship is Changing

“Even in the day-to-day joint operating activities between payer and provider, you still see a great deal of payment dispute activity over the authorization of the service, and payment arrangements per contract vs. those that were adjudicated in the claim. Very much a legacy framework, fee for service, that still carries out today between payer and provider.”

Executive VP and CFO, Health System

The Health Plan-Provider Relationship is Changing

“Payers have used historical benefits management tools to maximize quality and reduce cost. Providers have worked to improve value but with limited access to capital and tools to move to the next level. Unless we begin to see partnerships with shared accountability and coordination of functions across players, consumers are not going to get what they need …”

The Health Plan-Provider Relationship is Changing

“The competencies of health plans are very focused on managing financial risk. As there is movement to transfer that financial risk to delivery systems, what you see is misalignment because the capability of delivery systems to manage that financial risk is still embryonic.”
