For Payers
Provider network management
Ensure data quality, avoid penalties, and contain your costs
Federal and state agencies
Penalize health plans severely for poor provider network management
Members
Complain, generate unexpected costs, and even file lawsuits
At the same time, getting the latest information on your provider network has never been more challenging. Health systems are continuing to consolidate, increasing the affiliations between physicians and practices. Many doctors are also experiencing fatigue from constant payer data requests – and resistant to new tools, preferring phone and yes, fax machines.

HGS Healthcare improves the PDM approach and credentialing and recredentialing turnaround times for a regional health plan
With a growing backlog of provider data to manage, limited quality auditing and inventory tracking to uphold the integrity of the data, the client struggled with the most critical success factor of provider directories: accuracy.
We conducted an indepth analysis of the client’s data quality program, provided a 12-person offshore support team, and applied a purpose-built provider data management (PDM) tool, Provider Forward.
