Case study about Quest Enterprise Services Exceptions Package

BRING NETWORK ADEQUACY TO YOUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION

Quest Enterprise ServicesTM (QESTM) Adequacy solution provides your organization with the tools you need to easily measure, manage and monitor your network performance. Your team can see the status of your provider data and how that affects the adequacy of your network. With this type of visibility, you will be able to enhance cross-team communication, increase network transparency, streamline compliance monitoring processes, and have the information you need to differentiate your network. You are able to go beyond adequate standards to create excellent member experiences and a more competitive network overall.

To track down the ghost providers that may impact your user experience and quickly fill network gaps, you need the comprehensiveinsightful and integrated data of Provider Claims Insights (PCI). PCI assesses over $2 billion in annual medical claims to identify your clinically active providers and the ones that slipped away without anyone noticing. Achieve Peak Performance With PCI

Terminating and targeting large groups of providers or facilities one at a time is a highly inefficient process especially if done across multiple lines of business. What if you could run “what-if” scenarios to see the impact of terminating or targeting large groups of providers or facilities? And, once it is time to produce provider and specialty reports, wouldn’t it be easier to run the reports across multiple projects and service areas versus on a project-by-project basis and customize the reports to gain more actionable insights?
