Mass Collaborative website to simplify healthcare administration
The Mass Collaborative, an organization of more than 35 health plans, healthcare providers and trade associations, has launched a website geared toward simplifying healthcare administration.
Features on the website include news resources, access to standardized industry forms and information on solutions that address challenges like physician credentialing, insurance eligibility verification, claims appeals, prior-authorizations and payer-provider communications, according to a news release. Specifically it includes:
- A standardized ‘alpha search’ feature that improves the accuracy of locating healthcare providers
- Creation of a universal Provider Request for Claim Review Form and reference guide
- Creation of an email distribution list to improve how health plans communicate with providers
- Establishment of standardized processes for application status inquiries and hospital roster update notifications
“Although just 10 percent of every healthcare premium dollar goes towards administrative spending, there is more progress to be made,” said Deborah Devaux, senior vice president of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, in a statement.
