Appeals and Grievances
BizFlow provides Compliance A&G, a BPM-based case management framework that streamlines Appeals and Grievance (A&G's) processes. By law members of Health Insurance providers have the right to appeal any decision made by the provider. Members may also submit grievances expressing dissatisfaction with any aspect of the operations, activities or behavior of a Medicare health plan, or its providers, regardless of whether remedial action is requested. Providers who do not strictly follow the laws involving Appeals and Grievances are subject to regulatory fines. Annual costs of managing such programs for a mid-sized medical insurance can quickly exceed $500,000, for large HMO's more than $1M/year. Compliant A&G automates appeals and grievances operations from intake, distribution, assessment, and issuance. Training is made easy as case managers only have one solution to learn.
- Skill-Based Routing of Cases automatically routes work to the most skilled individual based on client, request type, region, amount, and other criteria
- Track and manage aging cases with reports and dashboards to improve CAG quality metrics and SLAs
- Aging Alerts occur at various times in the workflow, depending upon deadlines that may be set at the time of the initial entry, or as deadlines change based upon a variety of factors, such as CMS Turnaround Deadlines, Expedite Requests, and Turn-around to IRE, CMS and other 3rd parties.
- Form Letter Creation, Generation, and Attachment can auto-generate forms, emails, and attachments at various points in the workflow
- Correspondence allows for review, rewrite approval and tracking (generated, ready for approval, approved, printed, mailed)
