Automating and optimizing accuracy of claims payments

Cost pressures on healthcare payers have been strong for years. Now they are coupled with the rise of complex payment systems and, with health reform, the addition of millions of beneficiaries who are likely to choose plans that reimburse at the lowest rates. These pressures create complex claims reimbursement challenges for health plan executives – challenges that McKesson can help manage.

Leveraging the knowledge and expertise gained through our long-standing leadership and relationships with public and private payers, we developed McKesson Total Payment™, a completely new category of payment management. 

McKesson Total Payment is a claims payment optimization solution that enhances the capabilities of core claims processing systems by enabling them to automate payment to providers for different risk-sharing arrangements and complex benefit design. It combines the Total Payment Platform advanced technology framework and intelligent rules engine with unmatched clinical editing rule content, neural analytics, and a full-service consultative approach. The result is more accurate and automated claims payment no matter how complex the payment and medical policies; provider contract terms; or fraud, waste and abuse issues.

McKesson Total Payment optimizes payment comprehensively:

• Provides unparalleled accuracy and consistency in claims reimbursement
• Controls medical spending and increases accuracy of payment
• Optimizes payment policies
• Simplifies the management of medical policies
• Prevents payment of wasteful and abusive claims and can quickly detect new patterns of fraud
• Enables automation of bundled payments and episode of care programs via the McKesson Episode Management solution
