Carewise Health Announces New Payment Integrity Client and Initiative

Carewise Health announced today that their long-standing Medical Bill Review business unit has been renamed Payment Integrity and adopted the QEC (Quality, Efficacy, Costs) analytics model as their “front end” case identification and stratification tool. QEC provides proprietary algorithms that identify those large hospital and ambulatory cases more appropriate for nurse audits, and more likely to yield results. This tool is highly valuable to both health plans and providers in ensuring accurate and appropriate payment of services.

In announcing this initiative, Cheri Moehring, Carewise Payment Integrity and Chuck Bloss, Lead Actuary, Healthcare Analytics Services Holdings Inc. (HAS) indicated that QEC would be applied to all new and existing Carewise clients. Ms. Moehring commented “We believe a more predictive analytics tool at the front end of our nurse clinician audit efforts will yield better results for both providers and payers, and ensure that changes to any payments are valid.”
