Quotes:
“Readmission rates, complication rates, mortality rates, we’re taking that into account and making sure that when people do people stay in-network or go to the panel of those high-performance network partners, they’re getting top tier coverage.”
“Depending on the primary PPO network regardless of broad network or network of concise nature, there’s going to be out-of-network medical claims. And that can cost self-funded plans a lot of money if it’s not managed correctly.”
“Some plans we’ve seen pay out-of-network claims at full bill charges, some take a usual customary approach. Having a much more direct and aggressive approach can really be a game-changer for self-funded plans and materially impact the bottom line.”
“So being able to achieve a discount, that can also assure them that they’re going to be paid and have a little bit more clarity on how the member responsibly can be split up. Oftentimes we see self-funded plans offering some type of incentive.”
“So a plan with a medical spend with a million dollars, implementing these types of tools into the right education training to the members, could reduce their overall medical spend by about 25%.”
