Proving ROI for outsourced UM/CM

Proving ROI for outsourced UM/CM

What is the business case for outsourcing NICU UM/CM?

That’s the question all of our health plan partners had at one point, and it’s a valid one. The bottom line  answer is: quantifiable, consistent cost savings.

Many plans already have robust and innovative UM/CM programs serving their broad member populations. But with nearly half of a health plan’s total costs for infant hospitalizations coming from NICU cases, a focused solution is needed. 

NICU cases represent a high-complexity, high-cost challenge that requires specialized knowledge to manage effectively

Health plans often don’t have sufficient case volume to develop the programs required to impact total NICU cost-of-care while also maintaining strong network provider relationships. Employers have a similar problem and are impacted heavily by catastrophic claims from these cases.  

That’s where we come in. ProgenyHealth is the only national company dedicated exclusively to NICU UM and CM. Our data-driven, clinical best-practices approach uniquely supports newborns and their families during the first crucial months of life.  

    • 70,000+ NICU managed cases to-date. More than most health plans would see in several decades.
    • 6,000+ provider contacts in 1,400+ facilities throughout the US, including major children’s hospitals.
    • National, regional, and state Medicaid managed care and commercial plan client experience.
