BRINGING TRANSPARENCY TO THE POINT OF CARE
June 11, 2009
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ETNew higher-deductible and co-insurance based plan designs present a significant challenge to both members and providers:
- Members have assumed a larger portion of the cost of treatment and it’s often difficult to estimate what their responsibility will be
- Providers are spending more administrative time trying to collect payment from patients and bad dept is increasing
Learn about emerging best practice in engaging consumers and supporting providers with treatment cost estimates. Discover how CIGNA HealthCare, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, covering more than 12 million lives, partnered with Thomson Reuters to take the surprise out of healthcare payments and improve satisfaction among individuals and providers.
Based on the Treatment Cost Calculator from Thomson Reuters, CIGNA’s Cost of Care Estimator creates an estimate using actual claims payment history and calculates the member’s anticipated liability using the most current benefit and accumulator information. It answers the question, “What do I owe,” for the individual and the healthcare professional before service is rendered.
See how a simple solution that meets the needs for cost estimation at the point of care without requiring major systems investment can empower members to make better healthcare decisions, lower healthcare costs and improve member and provider satisfaction.
