Enhanced Coordination of Benefits

Your Medicaid program may not be receiving complete reporting of available and potential sources of private health insurance for members. At the same time, eligible members may not be accessing all available sources of coverage if they don’t know or fully understand that private health insurance and Medicaid work together.

Incomplete data and a lack of coordination with providers and insurers could mean erroneous denials by private payers for high-cost medical services and pharmacy-paid claims, and inadequate compliance with third-party billing requirements.

We help Medicaid members, programs, and providers coordinate insurance benefits for members with access to private insurance—helping them access complete coverage while protecting Medicaid as the Payor of Last Resort. Our unique approach combines claims data expertise, analysis of available insurance sources, and individualized case management support.

As a result, members and their families have access to a broader range of services and providers—and peace of mind so they can better focus on treatment and care. Your Medicaid program could see significant savings—tens of millions of dollars annually—if private insurance covers significant costs for your Medicaid populations with disabilities and chronic conditions who use high-cost services. Providers can also experience higher reimbursement rates as a result of the private insurance payment.
