Health plans serving Medicare Advantage, Special Needs and Managed Medicaid populations face a number of complex and interconnected challenges. Members increasingly expect digital access and real-time answers; however, may struggle with health literacy and find benefits and claims confusing. Members want their healthcare journey to function much like their interactions with the other consumer brands they trust. Convenience, communication and efficiency are key to a positive member experience.
Providers face their own frustrations, from administrative bottlenecks to delays with authorizations that take valuable time away from patient care. At the same time, health plans must navigate growing compliance requirements, pressure to reduce administrative costs and the inefficiencies of managing fragmented systems. The administrative demands of managing a health plan consume significant time and resources. When operations aren’t managed efficiently, the strain is felt by both providers and members. In fact, of the nearly $4 trillion spent on healthcare annually in the United States, administrative spending is about one-quarter of the total.
These challenges create a need for an integrated solution that connects members, providers and plans in real time.
Built on RAM Health’s HEALTHsuite Advantage™ platform, eHealthsuite is the member and provider portal solution that transforms self-service into a powerful engagement tool. Because it draws directly from the same HEALTHsuite Advantage database, eHealthsuite delivers real-time, accurate information without the delays and errors common in third-party portals.
This seamless integration means health plans can deliver a better experience for members and providers, while also reducing administrative strain.
