Services We Offer
Cognizant’s Healthcare BPS practice delivers value for payers, providers, intermediaries and pharmacies around the globe. Employing a proven successful framework based on four key value levers—efficiency, effectiveness, virtualization and innovation—we offer services that include:
Payers are shifting priorities to handle healthcare reform’s mandated medical loss ratios, guaranteed coverage, and other hits to profitability. Let us help reduce your costs—and free you to focus on revenue generation–by providing a wide range of business functions. Our “Quote to Card” services include benefits configuration, member enrollment, premium billing and reconciliation, related member-related services, and more.
We help physicians, hospitals and other providers offset reduced reimbursements from payers and pay-for-performance restrictions for multiple treatments. Our processes span coding, billing, accounts receivable, revenue recovery, pre-authorization and more. To further boost efficiencies and reduce operational costs, we’ll regularly present you with innovative solutions that leverage our consulting, optimization processes and managed services.
As payers and providers alike feel the squeeze of the changing healthcare industry, we help intermediaries improve processes and efficiencies. Let us help you overcome pressure on bottom-line profitability, and focus more on new revenue-generating opportunities such as customer acquisition. We develop specific outsourcing solutions for each of the wide range of intermediary healthcare services.
Using process improvement tools and automation, we help pharmacies transform their operations. Our pharmacy experience spans enrollment, benefit coding, eligibility and pharmacist verification, claims processing, customer service, mail-order processing, and drug utilization review.
