Total Care Management
An injured person’s medical treatment often requires more than just a prescription, this is why Optum focuses on Total Care Management.
This approach helps to manage all the possible treatments of an injured person’s care — from the prescription to the leg brace, to physical therapy and more — and helps claims professionals make well-informed decisions that lead to positive outcomes.
Whether you need pharmacy, ancillary, medical or settlement services — or some combination of them all — we'll help you design a program that focuses on your needs and is based on our pillars of Network Management, Clinical Care Management and Client Support & Tools.
The network is made up of these four strategic categories:
Proprietary national network delivers quality, efficiency and accessibility
Affiliate networks expand our reach to non-traditional entities
Network enforcement tools capture out-of-network transactions and convert them to in-network
Bill review services reduce out-of-network transactions to the lowest possible rate
*When all programs in use.
Our solutions fall into the following five categories throughout the life of the claim.
Risk Analytics helps to identify claims with potential inappropriate treatment or risk factors.
Actionable Alerts inform you of emerging risk within a claim and provide recommended actions to mitigate the risk.
Clinical Reviews provide analysis of the treatment(s) to identify appropriate changes in therapy.
Targeted Interventions address specific issues within a claim directly with a provider to drive appropriate clinical change.
Enforcement and Progress Monitoring helps to ensure compliance by both the injured individual and the provider.
Client Support & Tools provide easy access to claim information and real-time insight and reporting when it’s needed most.
We configure our programs to work within your existing workflow to streamline training, identify emerging risk and support faster claim closure.
Support by the numbers
Our Client Support & Tools fall into these four categories:
Portals provide web-based interfaces for you to interact with Optum and get access to claim information
Reporting and Analytics provide insights into your data and the impact on your programs
Service and Support Personnel are dedicated to supporting you at all levels
Electronic Data Interfaces are our capabilities for exchanging data with you to effectively and efficiently support your programs
