The Communication Cure: How Better Payer-Provider Coordination Can Improve Patient Experiences
At the heart of every successful relationship – in business and in life – is an essential ingredient: communication. For health plans and providers, effective communication makes all the difference in building trust. When it doesn’t happen or it happens too late, they often find themselves with frustrated members/patients on their hands.
What’s Trending In the News: From Uncertainty Comes Innovation
Navigating uncertainty has become a top challenge this year for both government and commercial payers. Take for example, mixed messages about Medicaid: Federal funding may or may not be reduced, which could lead to increased utilization, lower profitability, or compliance issues. For commercial dental and vision plans, slowing economic growth and ongoing inflation may result in changes in plan membership. All payers need to prepare for what’s next, but bottom line, it’s difficult to respond in an unpredictable environment.

Crossing Paths with Those in Need: Providing Vision Tests for the Maasai
Many of the people the SKYGEN International Foundation serves in northern Tanzania are subsistence farmers, but during our most recent trip we had the good fortune to cross paths with the Maasai, a semi-nomadic ethnic group that follows seasonal rainfall in search of grazing lands for their cattle. The Maasai are known for their bright red robes, though many integrate this traditional dress with Western clothes.
Solving the Problem of Provider Directory Accuracy in Dental Care
The accuracy of provider directories continues to be an ongoing issue in dental care and the wider healthcare industry. Despite state and federal regulations requiring health plans to regularly update directories, and related fines that can start at $1,000 per day per violation, inaccuracies in provider directories continue. And continue. And continue: One 2024 study found that 40% of provider directory inaccuracies last an average of 540 days. That’s 1.5 years.
