Combine Growth and Cost Takeout Strategies to Reinvent the Payer Commercial/Employer Market

The IDC Perspective discusses the commercial market bringing payers conflicting priorities. Providing employer groups with the custom plans they demand while efficiently managing that data throughout their many siloed operational systems proves challenging for payers."Using a 'cost takeout' methodology instead of simple 'cost reduction' in the commercial market allows payers to solve this evolving space holistically. Using AI, outsourcing, network definition, and product mix surgically allows comprehensive re-engineering in an area that has traditionally had problems scaling up," says Jeff Rivkin, research director, Health Insights, IDC.
