Proven outcomes: human ingenuity at work

One of our long-standing payer clients was looking to streamline their payment integrity program, specifically their Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) auditing solutions. As their most trusted and first-pass post-pay vendor for DRG coding and clinical auditing services, they approached EXL when looking to reduce vendors to decrease administrative and operational workloads within vendor management. Leveraging human ingenuity, technology, and analytics-enabled solutions, EXL’s payment integrity solution was able to impact payment accuracies, cost management, and quality outcomes – all key to value-based performance success.

By partnering with our client to better understand their needs and implement custom solutions, EXL Health was able to create significant value to the organization, yielding an improved savings rate of 120% within 2020 and 2021.

  • 30% overall DRG savings for client in 2020
  • 56% overall DRG savings for client in 2021
  • Expected continued growth in 2022
  • Improved resource efficiency due to streamlining from a singular vendor
Featured insights

Professional claims cover certain procedures including labs and tests in various primary care, surgical, and specialty areas.
Healthcare providers that rely on traditional methods for medical record submission like mail, copies, faxes, and other methods for medical record (MR) submission are losing potential revenue opportunities while placing valuable-payer partnership at risk.
A large pharmacy benefit management organization came to EXL Health several years ago to provide a solution to a major issue they were experiencing.
