Military
Serving Those Who Serve
Readiness is rooted in the health of our military–both active and veteran personnel. MedExpert has helped thousands of our service people achieve the best in preventive health and outcomes–while significantly reducing the costs associated with caring for those who serve and support.
The “triple aim” of health care innovators as recognized by the federal government is to:
- Improve medical outcomes;
- Improve the health status of an entire population; and
- Reduce costs for the total population.
According to a third-party independent evaluator hired by the Federal Government, MedExpert meets all the criteria for delivering a cost-effective, triple-aim solution to the entire population.
MedExpert is proud to have served service men and women since the early 2000s. MedExpert provides the world’s only second-generation total population health solution for groups who need to significantly lower the cost of providing first-rate health care while engaging their members with the best in wellness and incentive programs, including: coaching; biometrics; plan design; reporting; and communication.
In addition, MedExpert protects the integrity of military health care plans by: electronically delivering EOMB to members; identifying overutilization; identifying erroneous billings; identifying provider practice patterns; and identifying provider billing patterns.
With MedExpert, no members will be excluded from our services because our programs are uniquely capable of working for any member, regardless of medical condition.
For our Military suite, products are broken into four categories:
Direct Decision Support (DDS)
Medical management is best served by a fully integrated, fully automated, suite of tools under one roof that assists members with any medical concern—as opposed to the fragmented tools that address small parts of populations that has become the low-bar standard of today.
Military populations grow healthier and less resource-intensive through a DDS component that easily keeps pace with today’s frenetic pace of innovation while advocating for patients and helping them navigate the complex TRICARE/VA ecosystem. Emergency room use and unnecessary surgeries are reduced significantly when MedExpert becomes part of your population’s health ecosystem. MedExpert’s DDS works at the level of the patient by infusing any medical decision—from losing weight to radical surgery—with the most current, accurate, and unbiased quality information available today.
Our DDS encompasses case management; disease management that extends to all 22,000+ medical conditions and comorbidities; care coordination among attending and consulting physicians; and health care system navigation and patient advocacy.
Wellness
Wellness – the concept of approaching health care from the perspective of preventive, anticipatory care – has been largely lost in the understandable push to find manageable, and reconcilable, pieces of a financial and marketing juggernaut. But beyond the flush of early excitement, true costing and reporting rooted in reality require more than lovely phrasing. MedExpert was designed from its core to forego pleasantries and instead to focus on how to address population health in a way accountable to members.
MedExpert will “touch” 85%-90% of all members, and MedExpert will have meaningful health and wellness discussions with 45%-55% of all members. MedExpert achieves this through our unparalleled outreach capabilities, along with decades of experience in engaging members. If given full claims data, MedExpert can target and outreach to members on any given factor.
MedExpert provides each employee/spouse with a HIPAA/HITECH secure portal that provides each member with their specific program details, including medical results, assessment results, biometric results, medical incentives, location finders for services, and personal evidence-based medicine reports. The portal works seamlessly across smartphones, tablets, computers, and iPads.
Medical Utilization
MedExpert provides military groups with Informed 2.0, a second-generation utilization management tool that infuses expert opinion and the latest medical research into critical patient care decisions. Informed 2.0 allows members to understand all the advantages and disadvantages of particular treatment options and to establish the standard of care.
For many service members/spouses, simply determining whether a particular provider is in network or not can be a confusing process. Because so much money is at stake with getting this information right, MedExpert includes its service of answering this question.
With MedExpert’s unique Informed 2.0, your members are given full transparency into the pros and cons for any procedure or treatment as it pertains to them as individuals. For many members/spouses in a health plan, simply determining whether a particular provider is in network or not can be a confusing process. Because so much money is at stake with getting this information right, MedExpert includes its service of answering this question, and patients find the most optimal treatment path possible.
Data & Oversight
MedExpert’s DAS provides your leadership with a data analytic system that allows for near-instantaneous insight into cost containment and quality improvement efforts. MedExpert extracts, translates, loads, verifies, authenticates, and maintains all medical, pharmaceutical, dental, vision, claim, and encounter data from all data sources servicing the population. Eligibility data is coupled with payer data from TRICARE/VA, children’s health insurance, prescription drug plans, and dental insurers, among others.
This secure, on-demand data system provides leadership with powerful analytics on current data, right away. Indeed, MedExpert is distinguished by integrating and normalizing data within 24 to 72 hours of receipt. This means you can query the system for activities that occurred last week. You no longer need to wait weeks and, in some cases, months to learn from your own data.
