The Future of Provider Payment Optimization


Of the $2.5 trillion spent annually on health care in the United States, nearly $800 billion is attributed to wasteful and redundant practices. As the industry continues to feel the pressures of mounting costs, Medical Loss Ratio mandates, lingering economic uncertainties and complex reimbursement rules, finding efficiencies and reducing expenses remains critical. Fortunately, the current healthcare system offers many opportunities to do so, particularly within the claims reimbursement process.

To find out how some leading payers and providers are reducing expenses, download Emdeon’s newest white paper, The Future of Provider Payment Optimization, available at http://www.emdeon.com/resourcepdfs/EMDA1010391.pdf.
