Problem Solved
Business Process as a Service
In addition to meeting the outsourcing needs of health plans, Catalyst can provide technology solutions that help meet your unique needs. Catalyst offers technologies for: claims, CRM, telephony (e.g., ACD, PBX, IVR, CTI and Workforce Manager), authorizations, analytics/reporting, enrollment, pricing, value-based payments.
When introducing new technology, Catalyst can take a modular approach to introducing a single aspect of a technology (i.e., a new claims engine). Using this approach, the you receive a new technology that helps improve your business and the effect is both less expensive and less disruptive to the business.
If you determine your current technology solution no longer meets your plan’s demands, Catalyst can introduce a comprehensive technology solution and lead the implementation. Given Catalyst’s wide range of partnerships and decades of experience, there’s no technology platform that Catalyst cannot install and manage.
