Catalyst for Change

I am excited to be part of a company that doesn’t just talk about how to reduce the friction between payers and providers; we’re making it happen. We’re creating practical solutions that foster better relationships and collaboration which, ultimately, improve quality of care, patient experiences, and financial viability. The first of our solutions are in use today, and we have more coming in the months ahead.

Here’s just a sample of the benefits that Avaneer Coverage Direct? provides:

• Enhanced security and transparency. The Avaneer Network enables payers and providers to share data directly without having to integrate with numerous APIs or to send data to clearinghouses or other third parties. Fewer gateways mean fewer opportunities for data to be compromised. Direct connections also provide better visibility into how, when, and with whom data has been shared, as well as better insight into claim and payment status.
• Faster turnaround times. Direct connectivity eliminates a significant number of steps in the claims adjudication processes. This means claims and payments can be processed more quickly, reducing delays and leading to faster reimbursement and better cash flow. Providers and payers alike benefit from significantly reduced administrative burdens.
• Improved payer-provider relationships. Greater data fluidity and transparency help improve trust between payers and providers. This, in turn, enables better communication and cooperation. It also allows payers and providers to innovate together on behalf of patients/members.

What started as a collaboration between some of our nation’s largest healthcare payers and providers has become a catalyst for a new way of doing business.
