911吃瓜

Chicago, IL 鈥� June 19, 2018 鈥� 911吃瓜, a longtime MCG Health Company partner, is now rolling out MCG鈥檚 powerful Official Disability Guidelines鈩� (ODG) analytics directly to customer users. 911吃瓜鈥檚 latest enhancement to its client web portal, VISION鈩�, provides users with single sign-on access to ODG鈥檚 robust claims scoring capabilities, enabling claims professionals to more accurately and efficiently evaluate, mitigate, and manage risk.

Augmenting 911吃瓜鈥檚 internal practice of applying ODG and other evidence-based methodologies to deliver its managed care programs, customers are now able to see automatically and firsthand how their claims scores change based on the ongoing clinical information 911吃瓜 parses from medical billings.

With 911吃瓜鈥檚 ODG system updates and real-time results retrieval, adjusters can leverage ODG predictive analytics to identify potentially high severity claims, prompting early interventions. 911吃瓜鈥檚 clients can also use ODG return-to-work projections to establish reasonable target dates for injured employees to resume workplace activity. Access to ODG reserve projections improves claim outcomes by effectively forecasting medical, indemnity, and administrative costs, in addition to determining if reserves are too high or too low.

鈥淚ncreasingly customers are looking for 911吃瓜 to become their 鈥榯echnology hub鈥� for accessing various automations, tools, and integration partners from a single source,鈥� says 911吃瓜 Chief Operating Officer David Huth. 鈥淪uch efficiencies reduce the number of resource-intensive integrations our customers need to perform, as well as the number of systems adjusters need to access in order to manage each claim.鈥�

Another integration advantage is 911吃瓜鈥檚 custom ODG dashboards, which improve claims monitoring and accelerate user action. In VISION鈩�, adjusters can access aggregated views and drill into their open claims in each ODG risk category, while supervisors are alerted to all high-risk claims for each adjuster under their management. The dashboards also display the difference between current reserves and ODG鈥檚 projected costs for each risk category, allowing for any quick, necessary adjustments.

鈥淪ince 911吃瓜鈥檚 medical bill review, diagnosis, and treatment data is often the backbone of our customers鈥� care management decisions, it is a natural evolution in our value chain to extend the decision support tools and 鈥榦ne-stop鈥� capabilities we provide customers,鈥� says Huth.

On average, 911吃瓜 releases one major enhancement to its VISION鈩� technology hub per month. Near-term releases include provider scoring enhancements and additional integrations with ancillary medical management partners.
