(45 min – 15 min presentation, 30 min open discussion)
No payment integrity savings benchmarks currently exist. Each health plan varies in payment integrity complexity – making it difficult to create industry standards. For the first time, HPRI has collaborated with payment integrity thought leaders to start to tackle this challenging but critical initiative. In this working session, hear how leaders are defining and calculating savings PMPMs across different programs, and share feedback to help health plans compare performance and optimize savings. Attendees will receive a post-event report with benchmarking insights.
