Discovery Health Partners Wins New Healthcare Customers
Itasca, IL (PRWEB) September 19, 2013 -- Discovery Health Partners today announced that it has added new healthcare organizations to its client roster and expanded current customer portfolios, demonstrating demand for effective analytics-driven payment integrity solutions that reduce and contain healthcare spend.
Since January, Discovery Health Partners has won multiple new healthcare clients seeking proven solutions for healthcare subrogation, COB recovery and eligibility services. They include Paramount Health Care, a large southern integrated health care services system, a leading mid-Atlantic health plan, and a leading western health plan.
Additionally, current client Lovelace Health Plan expanded its partnership with Discovery Health Partners with a Cost Containment Blueprint consulting engagement, which identified new opportunities for cost savings and revenue generation. Fallon Community Health Plan, another client, extended its relationship with Discovery Health Partners to include Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Validation and Premium Restoration in addition to existing services provided for subrogation and COB.
“Discovery Health Partners has been a true partner in every sense for our recovery and cost avoidance programs,” said Karen Eskridge, Chief Operations Officer, Lovelace Health Plan. “Their team has helped us to reduce erroneous claims payments and improve reporting; working together, we’ve also broken down obstacles and identified new savings opportunities we hadn’t seen before.”
Discovery Health Partners recently published the following client successes:
• Within the first year, a mid-sized health plan with more than 230,000 members (including 30,000+ Medicare Advantage members) realized nearly $3.5 million in subrogation and COB recoveries. By adding MSP Validation and Premium Restoration, the health plan recovered an additional $7.4 million dollars in six months. The health plan’s total two-year forecast for these services is nearly $15 million.
• A community health plan with more than 200,000 members (including 30,000+ Medicare Advantage members) realized incremental savings of more than $2 million with Discovery Health Partners’ subrogation and COB services in seven months. The health plan expects to recover an additional $2.4 million in subrogation claims over the next six to 12 months. MSP Validation and Premium Restoration Services are expected to recover an additional $8.4 million in 2013.
• Seeking greater transparency and the ability to respond faster to employer group reporting requests, another health plan adopted Discovery Health Partners’ cloud-based subscription software for on-demand analytics and case management tools. As a result, the health plan decreased their resources, support needs, and capital expenditures.
“Our flexible offerings, client advocacy, and leading-edge tools are highly valuable to our clients’ cost management programs,” said Paul Vosters, President and Chief Operating Officer, Discovery Health Partners. “We help clients look holistically at their cost containment efforts, and we will customize a plan and approach to meet their unique requirements. We quantify the results to show the difference we make.”
