With reform initiatives a reality, the pressure is on plans to increase the efficiency of their operations and reduce their administrative costs. One of the critical areas of focus for health plans to reduce costs and increase efficiency is in their provider operations. The concept of Lean Provider Administration enables plans to examine their current processes, identity potential areas of waste and formulate solutions to continually improve their provider operations.
By applying the Lean philosophy and methods to provider administration activities, plans gain insight into areas of waste and potential inefficiencies within their processes. Armed with this knowledge, plans can begin to automate provider operations, increase data accuracy, reduce internal training and IT costs while still delivering even greater value to their members and providers.
