Successful cost containment in Workers Compensation and Auto is based on achieving a few key results:

• The best medical savings possible at any given time, without surrendering patient outcomes, provider relations, and market reputation;
• Defensible savings; and re-pricing partners willing and able to deflect liability resulting from their work;
• The lowest cost and complexity possible for achieving the goals above.

To achieve these goals, you need the ability to:

• Implement your own choice of partners.
• Have a direct relationship with your partners.
• Negotiate directly and freely with your partners.
• Implement and manage a large number of vendors
• React to market and legislative conditions by:
• Changing the routing of bills quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
• Changing partners quickly, without impacting internal systems and processes.
• Keep operations simple and cost low despite increasing the number of vendors available and the resulting more complex routing possibilities for bills.

In short, you need to build a solution that's tailored to your needs at any given moment, without putting an impossible burden on IT for vendor implementations and custom coding required to manage and route bills differently. 

Dr Bill Exchange provides these capabilities in the easy-to-implement, low cost and low risk manner you need.

What are your other options, and how do they compare to Dr Bill Exchange?

• Internally-developed point-to-point transaction interfaces, plus custom software to handle the management and routing of bills each time changes to vendors or processes occur;
• Major re-pricing or re-pricing software vendors that offer one-stop-shopping and a single connection to a limited and virtually static set of vendors chosen more for the intermediary’s revenue parameters than your performance needs;
• Smaller bill review companies with highly manual processes that (necessarily) tend to do everything within their four walls.
• Dr Bill Exchange.

So how do these stack up?

There really is no comparison.  Dr Bill Exchange has an unfair advantage – it was conceived and designed specifically to meet these goals (and create a level playing field for performance-oriented vendors of all sizes and types).  Its business model is designed to support all its members, payers and their vendor partners, harmoniously and economically.  Its use of sophisticated value chain implementation software architecture and design makes previously impossible solutions not just possible, but easy.  We also recognize that in the business of managing and delivering medical bills, all of this sophistication means nothing without the commitment to make every customer’s experience the best possible every day.
