Premium Integrity
Premium Integrity Success Story
THE SITUATION
A large, multi-state Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO) engaged Pareto to perform a 6-year evaluation of MA premium accuracy, then validate and recoup mistaken underpayments made by CMS.
THE SOLUTION
Pareto’s Premium Integrity analytics predict inaccuracies in member statuses that result in underpaid capitation payments. For this client, Pareto evaluated Medicare Secondary Payer and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) classifications to identify inconsistencies and prioritize reconciliation efforts. Pareto’s skilled outreach experts also coordinated confirmation of statuses and updates in the required systems.
THE RESULTS
Pareto’s Premium Integrity solution ingested and analyzed billions of data records and generated insights into attainable financial improvement for the client, which would be achieved by remediating payments with CMS.
