What your claim data is trying to tell you

November 4, 2009 | Jon McNeill

When you think about it, there are some really intriguing questions around your organization’s contents claim handling: How many lines per day does each department handle? What are your cycle times? What does your historical trend on television reimbursements look like now that flat-screen TV’s are so popular? The answers to these questions can provide key competitive advantages, but the problem is that most claims management executives don’t have this information. Why? Because it’s trapped in claims data that doesn’t exist or can’t be accessed. These insights don’t have to remain illusive, though. All you need is a centralized repository of data, the right granularity, and the ability to openly query the database. You’ll be amazed at what your claim data has been trying to tell you.
