Traditional claim processing is complex
Health plans and providers face many challenges when trying to process and pay claims accurately, including:
- Lack of interoperability between health plan systems and provider workflows
- Manual processes to exchange data
- Lack of visibility into health plan-specific requirements
- Variability in health plan requirements
These complexities drive claim errors, resulting in provider inquiries via phone calls and portal transactions. This leaves health plans with millions of unnecessary SG&A spend.
