Member Management for Healthcare Payers

As a payer, managing members is a critical aspect for healthcare payers. It can be challenging to keep track of member information, claims, and benefits, all while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. According to a survey by Black Book Market Research, 92% of healthcare payers plan to invest in member engagement and communication technologies by 2022.   In this blog, we’ll explore how you manage your members, improve member coordination, and drive better outcomes.

The biggest challenge for healthcare payers when it comes to member engagement is data integration, followed by data privacy and security. Nearly half of healthcare payers (46%) plan to use chatbots and other AI-based technologies to improve member engagement.

By investing in these technologies, payers can improve member satisfaction and loyalty, reduce costs, and enhance their overall business performance.
