Many patients and their families can’t afford copays & deductibles, even for those with good employer-sponsored insurance. Patient statement balances exceeding $7500 is up 300%. Bad debt from self-pay after insurance is now 58%. Patient responsible payments and outstanding balances create financial friction affecting care staff.

Leading health systems are adopting a new innovative technology platform which reduces a system’s financial risk associated with collecting patient responsibility payments and uncompensated care. Benefits include improvement in revenue from collections at time of service, coverage for high-cost care patients, reduced bad debt, consumer-like financial experience, improved care affordability and net promoter scores.

IllumiCare delivers a technology-based, provider alignment program for acute care waste reduction. Beginning with research-backed, proprietary rules on medication and test utilization coupled with real-time clinical data analytics and cost data, IllumiCare’s SmartRibbonTM spots waste reduction opportunities during the ordering process of an acute care episode. Behavior change is aligned at the macro level via provider bonus compensation for waste reduction. Granular order pattern data fosters discussions at the intermediate level with service line leaders using the analytics to drive programs, optimize ordersets, and manage formularies. At the micro level, IllumiCare judiciously nudges clinicians in workflow with clinical/financial decision support using machine learning. The result is an average $94/admission in hard-dollar savings, for an $7 to $1 ROI.
