Compliance maintenance and oversight for health plans can be a resource and time-consuming restraint. Challenges with manual processes, inefficient workflows and frequent compliance audits prove to be disruptive and expensive. Regulatory demands for health plans can result in higher costs, increased resources, and unplanned expenses.
Common compliance concerns include:
- Conflicting directives for health plans with multiple regulators
- Un-finalized regulations causing uncertainty on ongoing lawsuits
- Regulatory timeframes shortening the window of time for review of compliance processes and protocols
- Significant changes and implementation needs to comply with healthcare reform, or the routine changes
- Frequent regulatory revisions and sub laws making it difficult to maintain compliance
Health plans are increasingly seeking solutions to streamline their compliance and quality processes and deliver better patient care. Software automation has gained a lot of attention and increased adoption to facilitate compliance. Proactive and technically-advanced health plans have automated their core business and operational processes. This has included handling sensitive patient information, validation of insurance coverage, appointment management, medical billing and records management.
