Home Health Services - Is Authorization Really the Answer?

The challenge in DME or many types of home health services is that it's a lot of very low-cost services. And so the resource costs, the unit costs of actually running that authorization process from having the clinical staff that can review those is not ROI positive on a lot of these. So what we're able to do for many of our health plan partners is to just be a lot more specific around what are certain types of products that make sense to pass through a filter of review. Through our technology and analytics, we'reable to provide a lot of that in a very streamlined way directly.
