“The fact that it (SF-8 Health Survey) is brief, standardized and scientifically valid is very good.”
“Optum definitely has the data and the technology to help us clinically and financially model our risk; that’s something that can make us more sophisticated. We can be at the forefront of changing the delivery of health care.”
“I have always believed the key to our success in managing risk successfully is by creating a culture of providercentric coordinated care.”
"We’re using advanced revenue cycle tools from Optum360 to increase billing transparency to patients and reduce the overall cost of care. We’re excited that this cloud-based technology will help us provide affordable health care to our patients."
"They help us to resolve any issues that arise, and we know that they are invested in our success."
"The Optum solution gave us reliable data to find a state error, saving our corporation $20 million dollars annually."
"It was obvious we needed to continue using Claims Manager to maintain our high, clean claim submission rates and to ensure we receive complete, accurate payment for our services."
“We had developed best-in-class tools prior to our Optum affiliation, but Optum has taken us to a whole new level.”
“The question we asked ourselves about ACOs was, ‘If not us, who?’ We really felt like the capabilities we had been honing over the last 20 years put us in a good position in this arena.”
“The Population Analytics data enables targeted outreach to patients who will benefit from proactive management, based on their clinical findings, not billing codes. At the same time it enables useful feedback to busy PCPs, in the effective management of our patient populations.”
