Points of Light 2022 Case Study 1
Consolidated Patient Billing Leading to Higher Satisfaction, Increased Collections, and Reduced Waste
Seeking to provide a simplified billing experience for patients and reduce administrative costs, Payer Organization 1 and Healthcare Organization 1 teamed up with Cedar to create a unified patient bill that combines the health system’s billing with the payer’s explanation of benefits. The payer and healthcare organizations also integrated their customer service. By working collaboratively and leveraging Cedar’s patient financial experience technology, the organizations were able to achieve improved member/patient satisfaction, higher collection rates, and reduced costs. The participants emphasized the importance of building trust and letting go of past narratives that didn’t serve the common goal.
