Zelis, an industry leader dedicated to modernizing the healthcare sector, is widely recognized for its platform designed to address gaps in the healthcare financial system. This platform provides solutions to healthcare networks, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing out-of-network costs and enhancing payment integrity.
Recently, the company unveiled its latest offering: In-Network Pricing and Contract Modeling. This new service empowers health plans with enhanced efficiency, accuracy and transparency to effectively manage costs, optimize networks and mitigate financial risks.
“We understand that navigating complex stakeholder relationships and evolving healthcare regulations requires more from a cost management partner than strictly managing cost,” said Jay Deady, Zelis’ president of Price Optimization, in the news release.
“Platform solutions like this compound efficiencies, enhance the member experience, minimize payer-provider abrasion and lower the overall cost of care for everyone involved,” added Deady.
