Transforming Healthcare Operations

Community Health Options (CHO), a provider-owned and community-based payer, has successfully transformed its operational processes through next-generation technology to meet the diverse demands of its stakeholders. With a mission to offer meaningful, affordable health benefits and promote wellness, CHO has meticulously built its infrastructure from the ground up. This includes in-house management of claims, utilization, medical, and care management.

Adopting Innovative Technology

Upon its inception in 2011 and under the Affordable Care Act’s co-op program, CHO had 18 months to become operational. This rapid timeline necessitated reliance on third-party vendors. However, in mid-2015, CHO re-evaluated its partnerships, internalizing many processes to improve efficiency and integration. Central to this transformation was adopting HealthEdge's HealthRules Payer platform for claims administration, enabling seamless integration, real-time data access, and robust reporting capabilities.

This strategic move allowed CHO to maintain a 99% average member satisfaction rate and retain 91% of its groups. By leveraging HealthRules Payer, CHO exemplifies how a payer transforms operational processes to enhance service delivery, achieve high member satisfaction, and remain competitive in today's market.
