How Health Plans Can Leverage Modern Technology Systems to Gain Strategic Advantage and Remain CMS-0057-F Compliant

The implementation of the Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule mandate (CMS-0057-F) in early 2024 is more than just a compliance requirement—it’s an opportunity for health plans to modernize and streamline their operations. But for payers still dependent on outdated and legacy technology systems, it can be difficult to turn requirements into regeneration opportunities.

This was the subject of a recent IDC white paper entitled, “Compliance with Prior Authorization Mandates is a Strategic Opportunity for Payers,” by Jeff Rivkin, IDC Research Director. In the report, Rivkin explains the importance of investing in modern, highly interoperable solutions, and how these solutions can be a true catalyst for digital transformation—a goal many health plans are striving to accomplish.

5 Key Prior Authorization Takeaways for Health Plans 

Rather than viewing compliance with CMS-0057-F as a regulatory burden, health plan leaders can use it as an incentive for digital transformation. By investing in next-generation core administrative processing systems and care management platforms, health plans can achieve the following strategic advantages:

Trend 1: Operational Efficiencies through Integrated Systems

One of the key challenges posed by CMS-0057-F is the need to integrate disparate systems to support real-time data sharing and streamlined workflows. Health plans that invest in modern, integrated platforms can automate manual processes, reducing the administrative burden on staff.

For example, a transformational core administrative processing system, such as HealthEdge’s HealthRules® Payer, can automate prior authorization workflows, manage claims, and synchronize data between clinical and administrative systems. By unifying these functions, health plans can respond faster to authorization requests, improve accuracy, and reduce manual intervention.

Trend 2: Improved Provider Collaboration and Member Engagement

The transparency and data-sharing requirements of CMS-0057-F are designed to improve collaboration between health plans, providers, and members. Health plans that invest in robust care management systems can enhance provider communication, streamline care coordination, and ensure that members have timely access to the care they need.

A comprehensive platform like GuidingCare® from HealthEdge can facilitate this collaboration by providing providers with real-time access to patient data, including the status of prior authorizations. This reduces the back-and-forth communication often associated with the prior authorization process, accelerating approvals and improving the member experience.

Trend 3: Data-Driven Decision-Making and Reporting

CMS-0057-F places a significant emphasis on transparency, requiring health plans to report key performance metrics related to their prior authorization processes. Health plans that invest in business intelligence and analytics tools can not only meet these reporting requirements, but also use the data to optimize their operations.

By leveraging the robust reporting capabilities of a care management platform like GuidingCare, health plans can track key metrics like approval and denial rates, turnaround times, provider performance, and more. This data can be used to identify inefficiencies, make data-driven decisions, and continuously improve the prior authorization process—beyond remaining compliant with CMS-0057-F.

Trend 4: Scalability and Futureproofing

It is imperative that payers invest in a modular and agile technology platform to scale their operations alongside their growing member base. Legacy systems are often rigid and unable to adapt to changing regulatory requirements or market conditions. In contrast, forward-thinking CAPS and care management platforms are designed to be flexible, allowing health plans to easily adapt to new regulations or business needs.

Considering the ever-evolving Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, health plans that invest in scalable technology are better positioned to adapt to future changes without costly system overhauls. This futureproofing is essential for long-term operational success.

Trend 5: Choosing the Right Technology Partner

Investing in the right technology starts with finding the right partner. Look for highly interoperable solutions that work together seamlessly to offer real-time data sharing, support business rules engines, and deliver robust reporting and analytics capabilities.

While meeting the compliance requirements of CMS-0057-F is crucial, it also opens the door to much broader opportunities for health plans to become digital payers. By embracing modern, integrated technology platforms like those offered by HealthEdge, health plans can ensure compliance and also create a foundation for long-term operational success.

How to Modernize Health Plan Core Administrative Processing Systems

The ever-changing healthcare landscape requires health plans to have access to the insights and agility necessary to control costs, embrace change, and move quickly to take advantage of new opportunities. For many payers, upgrading to modernized health plan core administrative processing systems (CAPS) is a key strategy to remain flexible and competitive in the market.

To stay ahead of industry changes, many health plans are transitioning to cloud-based solutions. Doing so makes it easier for payers to consolidate their applications, reducing reliance on third-party point solutions and outdated proprietary systems. This forward-thinking approach streamlines operational efficiencies and meets the growing demand for agility in the ever-shifting healthcare regulatory environment.

Payers increasingly recognize that investing in modern health plan core administrative processing systems is essential to improving both member and provider experiences— needs that remain largely unmet by legacy systems. Leveraging cloud-based CAPS solutions make it easier for health plans to embrace the industry shift toward data accessibility and real-time claim adjudication while empowering them to react swiftly to stakeholder demands.

6 Key Trends Driving Investment in Health Plan Core Administrative Processing Systems

Healthcare payers must navigate a complex landscape of demands and opportunities to succeed. Several trends have emerged that are shaping payers’ decisions to reinvest in their existing CAPS solutions. An industry-wide shift toward a value-based care model is compelling executives to reevaluate their organizational workflows and internal processes. As a result, payers are more closely evaluating which CAPS partners will be ideal for long-term partnership in the dynamic healthcare environment.

1. Claims Processing for Non-Medical Services

One significant trend is the integration of claims processing for non-medical services. To support members holistically, payers are addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) by facilitating claims for services beyond traditional medical care. Examples of covered SDOH services include community-based programs—such as housing stabilization and emergency food access—as well as transportation to and from appointments. These offerings help support broader member needs, leading to better clinical outcomes, lower long-term care costs, and greater member satisfaction.

2. Low-Friction Support for Price Transparency and Interoperability

A regulatory focus on pricing transparency is driving payers to adopt integrated CAPS solutions that support low-friction access to updated pricing information.

What’s the HYPE all about?

Latest Release: 2024 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for U.S. Healthcare Payers

Gartner has published its highly anticipated Hype Cycle for U.S. Healthcare Payers. HealthEdge® was recognized as a Sample Vendor in two categories. Prospective Payment Integrity Solutions was named in the report since 2019, and we have been recognized for this category 3 consecutive times starting 2022. And AI-Enabled Fraud Detection has been named in the report since 2023, and we have been named as a Sample Vendor for both years – 2023 and 2024.

“This Hype Cycle provides critical input for strategic planning by tracking the maturity level and adoption rate of payer technologies and deployment approaches. U.S. healthcare payer CIOs should use this to plan new and manage existing investments for business optimization and transformation.” (1)

AI-Enabled Fraud Detection

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most prevalent terms in healthcare publications today, with use cases spanning from clinical to administrative functions. One of the more popular applications of AI in healthcare is fraud detection.

Fraud in the healthcare industry is believed to cost the U.S. healthcare system tens of billions of dollars annually. According to the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA), financial losses due to health care fraud can range from a conservative estimate of 3% to as high as 10% of total healthcare expenditures. The General Account Office estimates that fraud, waste and abuse may account for as much as 10% of all healthcare spending. With healthcare expenditures now exceeding one trillion dollars every year, over $100 billion may be lost annually due to fraud, waste and abuse.

Health insurance companies are on the front line of detecting this fraud and often bear the brunt of these costs.

A Fresh Approach

The traditional approach to fraud detection and prevention has focused on rule-based systems within the claims processing workflows. This approach, while well-intentioned, is unable to keep up with the growing complexity of claims and sophisticated fraud schemes.

To enhance fraud detection and prevention, HealthEdge solutions seamlessly integrate with AI and machine learning (ML) engines. Additionally, HealthEdge is developing partner integrations to provide customers with built-in fraud detection technology.

Analytics tools by HealthEdge Source™ (Source) offer health plans valuable insights that directly impact their bottom line. Monitor Mode allows payers to view the financial impact of edits or new policies in real-time, while the Retroactive Change Manager automates the management of retroactive policy and pricing changes. Together, these tools streamline workflows, reduce costs, and improve the integrity of the claims process. By analyzing specific providers, regions, configurations, and contracts, business leaders can make well-informed business decisions.

Prospective Payment Integrity

Since their inception, health plans have often struggled to detect and prevent improper and inaccurate claim payments. In fact, Gartner states that “between 3% and 7% of all healthcare claims are paid inaccurately — and only a fraction of those claims payments are later corrected.” (1)

Traditionally, payers have layered multiple editing solutions to address payment integrity concerns. However, this approach has its own drawbacks:

  • Each editing solution operates on its own update schedule and data sets, leading to fragmented processes and siloed information.
  • The inherent incentive for primary and secondary editing vendors to protect their own intellectual property has hindered collaboration and sharing among stakeholders. This not only hampers the overall accuracy of the payment process, but also perpetuates a cycle of continuous charging for the same issues without any resolution.

What is Prospective Payment Integrity?

“Prospective payment integrity (PPI) solutions enable payers to proactively avoid paying claims improperly, versus paying and then chasing claims dollars. These technologies facilitate accurate claims processing with minimal payment leakage, addressing contracts and services, eligibility, and payment accountability, along with fraud, waste and abuse (FWA). They incorporate claims editing, data mining and complex clinical review, as well as advanced analytics and AI,” notes the Gartner report.

According to the 2024 Hype Cycle, PPI solutions are “early mainstream,” which in our opinion means that many health plans are still evaluating these solutions. This isn’t surprising, given the cost pressure health plans face, and the difficulty in qualifying cost-avoidance savings. Factors such as counterfactual analysis, indirect costs, and data limitations can make it challenging to accurately measure savings. Despite these challenges, PPI solutions are still considered valuable investments for health plans looking to improve operational efficiency. Reducing the percentage of claims that require rework and limiting the manual effort involved are key strategies that health plan leaders believe can help achieve their efficiency goals.

HealthEdge Source challenges the traditional approach to payment integrity by offering a single platform for accessing and leveraging all data for true payment accountability. This platform approach empowers payers to identify the root causes of payment inaccuracy and correct the issues early on, leading to greater efficiency and lower contingency fees. By streamlining workflows and automating processes, Source enables health plans to insource more functionality, reducing reliance on third-party vendors for overpayment and underpayment recovery. This not only saves time and money, but also provides greater control over the claim’s payment process.

Real-World Case Studies: Cost Savings vs. Cost Recoveries

Source’s Data Study team collaborates with health plans to measure the potential savings when implementing the Source payment integrity solution. Here are a few examples of what those savings can be:

  • Mid-sized Regional Health Plan (Medicare Advantage):
  • Claims Analyzed: 1.7 million claims
  • Total Spend: $648 million
  • Incremental Savings: 1.6%, or $11.1 million
  • Regional Health Plan (Medicaid):
  • Claims Analyzed: 2.1 million claims
  • Total Spend: $571 million
  • Incremental Savings: 1.6%, or $9.1 million
  • National Health Plan (All Lines of Business):
  • Claims Analyzed: 5.1 million claims from Medicaid and Dual Eligible members
  • Total Spend: $790 million
  • Incremental Savings: 1.1%, or $8.7 million
