Supporting accurate member matching and data standardization with a modern stewardship user interface

Share:

Background

A leading medical billing and claims intermediary partnered with Verato to overcome challenges in member identity management and data standardization. Their goals included accurately matching members, enabling downstream use cases like automated claims pricing and payment integrity, and reducing reliance on internal resources. They also sought a modern stewardship interface to streamline workflows, eliminate in-house development needs, and align with broader customer-centric initiatives. Furthermore, an aggressive timeline of under two quarters for solution design and implementation was a critical requirement.

By implementing Verato’s solution, the organization achieved significant outcomes, including improved member satisfaction through unified access to information, enhanced compliance and reduced risk with secure handling of PHI, and optimized resource allocation to strategic priorities. Standardized data enabled their Data Science teams to accelerate model development and product analytics, driving greater innovation and value. This collaboration highlights Verato’s ability to deliver transformative results, aligning with customer goals and supporting operational success.

Challenge

Accelerating implementation of a secure solution to address customer satisfaction issues

A medical billing and claims intermediary manages more than 15 million unique members across their entire platform and multiple business lines. The team grappled with siloed data across its various business units and product lines, leading to key challenges, including:

Customer satisfaction: Members were unable to access their information in a unified location, leading to dissatisfaction and increased strain on payer and company resources.

Compliance and Risk: The member-facing portals managed by the intermediary’s data intelligence contain Protected Health Information (PHI), thereby necessitating the highest degree of security and governance.

Resource Allocation: Building a member identity management asset from scratch would prevent this intermediary from achieving its goals in a timely, cost-effective, and best-in-class manner.

“The accuracy and ease of deployment of Verato’s platform have been game-changers. We’ve been able to meet our timelines and focus on strategic initiatives that drive growth.”
