The $64 Billion Opportunity: Automating Healthcare Payments

The current state of healthcare payments is inefficient and creates an enormous cost burden for payers, providers, the federal government and patients. However, as the industry continues to move towards the automation of medical payments, the potential savings is in excess of $64 billion annually. These savings lie in the widespread adoption of new innovations in healthcare payments such as the transition of paper payments to EDI, improvements in claim adjudication and the availability of transparent, consumer focused healthcare cost information.

This session examines the latest in payment trends and innovations and outlines the feasibility of realizing these savings, and defines the source of payment cost savings across sectors. Specifically, this presentation focuses on:

• The level of opportunity and investment opportunity that exists in automating payments
• Identifying the barriers to these savings and the illustrating the solutions that are available
• Illustrating the processes that are currently underway, making the transition to true automation reasonable and short term
• A complete analysis of the vendor landscape
