What DME Benefits Management
can mean to your organization.
While today's medical management teams realize the importance of a proven process and expertise to coordinate core plan components like physician and hospital contracts, as well as pharmacy benefits, most health plans still wrestle with best practices in the ever-changing durable medical equipment sector.
However, many medical professionals now consider DME cost management a “last frontier” in healthcare. By partnering with a resource like Apropô, with experience and expertise specific to DME, health plans are able to reap the same kinds of benefits as those which accrue from Pharmacy Benefits Management, including:
- Improved member satisfaction
- Greater economies through negotiated contracts
- Better relationships with a proven network of preferred vendors
- Better utilization control
- More efficient claims and contract management
- More effective disease management due to improved outcomes reporting, cost effectiveness studies, and identification of best practices
Smart DME benefits management requires partnering with a resource that's flexible enough to offer both long-term service and also a process that enables an organization's own staff to eventually handle the entire operation internally. Such a program, one that Apropô calls “Train & Go,” represents a fraction of the expense needed to build an in-house DME benefits management program from scratch, and also enables your organization to implement ongoing improvements to your own performance.
