Functional Prototype Yields Time and Cost Savings

Functional Prototype Yields Time and Cost Savings

UDig’s Innovation Studio delivered a functional prototype to allow the client to re-sell as a SaaS platform allowing end users to close the benefits audit gap, reduce costs and provide a more robust process. Additionally, leveraging Innovation Studio resources provided the client with a cost-effective solution and provided for the seamless hand-off to an off-shore vendor for ongoing maintenance.

How We Went from Ideas to Impact

  • The Idea

    Quickly provide solution to overly manual and time-consuming process of reconciling benefits utilization data with insurance company invoicing.

  • The Process

    Exhibit how a technical solution could simplify the process of aligning benefits and billing to yield time and cost-savings.

  • The Impact

    Functional prototype displaying how a SaaS platform could close the benefits audit gap, reduce costs and provide a more robust process.

  • The app minimizes operating costs and is easy to scale.

The Idea

A healthcare technology services company desired to create a functional prototype to allow end users to reconcile HR benefits utilization data with insurance company invoicing. Human Resources departments spend significant time ensuring benefits and billing are aligned. This software would simplify the process and reduce costs. The project had an aggressive timeline and budget, and required a flexible, scalable application design.

The Impact

UDig’s Innovation Studio delivered the entire application back to front. The team started with concepts leveraging low cost, on demand cloud capabilities. UDig leveraged the power of the cloud, specifically AWS, to build this app without infrastructure. Designed to leverage only the services that are being actively used, the app minimizes operating costs and is easy to scale. The project team leveraged Agile methodologies with regular project check-ins, demonstrating progress, making necessary adjustments and striving for MVP throughout.

    Streamlining Healthcare Claim Denials for Revenue Recovery

    Managing insurance claim denials is a necessary yet often cumbersome process for many healthcare organizations. In order to overturn denied claims, providers can process thousands of insurance claims a day and must accurately match each patient and case. From there, they must consult with a physician advisor on each denied claim to overturn them. This multilayer process often relies on manual workflows that can result in inaccurate data, missed claims, and wasted hours. So, when a healthcare organization sought to improve their denial notification process and gain operational efficiency, they realized that a custom web application could be their answer. They partnered with UDig to build the solution and modernize the way they work and recover revenue.
