Although healthcare payments have undergone major transformations over the past decade, one thing remains constant—the need for claims payment integrity is paramount for payers. Not only does every inappropriately paid claim represent a financial loss that takes away from member care, but these errors also erode the payer-provider-member relationship.
Payers must develop a comprehensive payment integrity strategy spanning the entire claims payment continuum. While prospective payment integrity solutions continue to gain traction, retrospective solutions will continue to be a vital part of any successful enterprise payment integrity program. Therefore, a holistic process that targets the right intervention type and the right intervention point for each error is essential to effective claims processing, provider relations, and cost savings.
