Penfield’s negotiators use evidence-based criteria to ensure a reasonable reimbursement to the healthcare provider. An assessment is performed on both the claims and the provider and benchmarked against industry data. Each successful negotiation comes with a signed agreement with the provider to protect clients from any appeals.
Penfield leverages access to a vast healthcare provider network of physicians, hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, and pharmacy benefit managers to bring the best net savings to clients. The network is comprised of regional and national PPOs, HMOs, and direct contractual relationships.
The medical bill review program takes a hands-on approach to forensically analyzing medical billing to identify billing errors and unbundled charges. Algorithms can provide efficiency, but they are no substitute for a professional coder performing a line-by-line review. Line-item reviews find what algorithms overlook. Penfield nurses review each episode of care for clinical correctness, medical necessity, and appropriateness of treatment. Findings are used to reduce the payable to the healthcare provider and, where possible, a negotiated settlement is secured. A negotiated solution delivers the best value and peace of mind through closure.
One of Penfield’s unique cost containment strategies includes the ability to direct members to appropriate healthcare providers who rank high in quality in a given specialty and geographical region. Directional software also assists in determining the best cost outcome amongst available providers, so that members receive the best level of care at a reasonable cost.
Ensuring the most effective delivery of care and monitoring provider utilization is a significant component of any medical cost containment strategy. Staff nurses, in close coordination with our clinical director, use industry care guidelines to ensure that the most effective delivery of care is achieved. Our team’s number one objective is securing the best the care for the member, while monitoring for opportunities to get them back home for continued care in their country of origin.
From full replacement to any of the RBP variations, Penfield has the data and processes to reprice claims smoothly and take the sting out of balance billings. By blending cost and quality data into negotiated settlements before members receive care, Penfield’s RBP programs provide a softer, more manageable approach that delivers impeccable service and unbeatable value.
