Our Services
Healthcare payers, including insurance carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and self-insured payers, have an opportunity to optimize their out-of-network claims processing to realize more savings. When there are no established market baselines, healthcare providers commonly overcharge for medical services. Your current claims processing and cost containment efforts may not be as comprehensive or effective as you think. You may be optimizing speed but sacrifice savings and stakeholder value. Drop-in networks often sub-optimize savings for ease of application.
