White Paper: Position Your Health Plan for Long-Term Success with Payment Integrity
New regulations, evolving technology, and constant cost pressures are forcing organizations to rethink how they manage operations and deliver value. Here’s a snapshot of the key trends and challenges shaping the future:
Emerging Trends
- Regulatory Complexity: Frequent updates from government agencies like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) demand accurate, real-time compliance tracking. Health plans are prioritizing systems that can automate these updates to stay nimble.
- Digital Transformation: Healthcare is becoming increasingly data-driven. Investments in secure, integrated technologies enable health plans to turn insights into action, while safeguarding sensitive information.
- Provider Collaboration: Building stronger, transparent partnerships with providers is at the forefront. Efforts focus on reducing claims rework, payment delays, and communication pitfalls.
Current Challenges
- Over 50% of health plan leaders cite challenges in managing fee schedules and adapting to new rules without sufficient resources or technology vendors.
- Rising medical costs and staff shortages continue to strain resources. These issues aren’t just financial, they also risk impacting member experiences and provider relationships.
- Many organizations struggle with siloed data or poorly integrated systems, causing inefficiencies, delays in claims processing, and fractured workflows.
