Transforming health
Nextgen claims
Healthcare and medical insurance is a 1.2 trillion-dollar industry with a 4.9% average growth per year.
As the burden of dealing with an ever-increasing number of claims prevents their employees from providing timely and efficient service, healthcare companies of all sizes are struggling with negative sentiment from customers and providers.
Consistent data management is key to transforming the claims process into a faster, more efficient, more accurate engine that drives customer satisfaction, cost savings, and employee productivity.
The challenge
Modern, modular, cloud-based, intelligent nextgen claims platform
Launch worked with a Fortune 50 healthcare company that has significant technical debt due to the array of legacy systems that manage data, including systems inherited via acquisitions. Besides being complex, difficult to support, and inflexible, these systems result in insurance claims processes that require heavy manual effort and are error prone. Well over a thousand employees were required to manually perform benefits plan configuration processing of more than 30 million claims per year.
This company recognized their systems were outdated, costly to support, and wanted to become more flexible and efficient by developing a modern, cloud-based Claims Platform.
Because of the US healthcare system's inefficiency, administrative costs in the United States account for around 8% of their overall healthcare costs. In other developed countries, the average is between 1% and 3%.
