Solution Overview Generating Healthcare Payer Impact Payer test platform: How to ensure compliance, reduce timeto-market and maximize return on investment Healthcare payers today face a perfect storm of business challenges. Increasing cost pressures, healthcare reforms, regulatory mandates, new technologies, empowered customers, and even fraud are causing companies to rapidly upgrade technology capabilities to support much more agile business processes, and Quality Assurance (QA) organizations must match that pace. Genpact s managed QA services enabled by solution accelerators such as Payer Test Platform (PTP) and analytics-driven optimization can reduce cost, improve testing quality, ensure compliance, and slash speed-to-market. DESIGN TRANSFORM RUN
Healthcare payers are facing multiple challenges forcing the organizations to contain costs and drive efficiency without sacrificing quality or control. This is necessary to compete in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Payers face the following key challenges: 1. Medical loss requirements add to cost pressures Today, these requirements are compelling payers to streamline their administrative costs to just 85% of the payers medical target spent. This puts additional pressure on organizations to reduce overall administrative costs. 2. A rise in consumerism is changing the business scenario Historically, healthcare was a B2B business with employers the key stakeholder. Healthcare reforms have transformed healthcare into a B2C business, which calls for a much more agile response to varied customer needs and preferences. 3. New technologies now dominate Service-oriented architecture, software-asa-service, mobile, big data analytics, and the cloud have changed how IT functions. Payer organizations technology capabilities must evolve. 4. Mandatory regulatory changes are adding complexity ICD-10 and other standardization initiatives are increasing compliance-related spend. Payers are now turning to IT to respond to these challenges. Improving QA testing can improve return on INVESTMENT and increase agility and speed time-to-market while bolstering customer satisfaction. The new healthcare environment has put a spotlight on testing. Efficient testing can ease cost pressures by ensuring applications: Arrive defect-free Are delivered on time Meet ever-changing government regulations Respond rapidly to market pressures Paying claims incorrectly, or worse, causing manual work to process a claim, is not an option when customer satisfaction and per-member-per- month cost are top of mind for every profitable payer. Neither can payers afford delays in making system changes in response to regulatory requirements or rapidly changing market conditions. The Genpact solution Our managed QA services combine process excellence with analytics and technology to provide a complete testing solution for healthcare payers that cover: Requirements traceability Test data and script creation Unit/SIT testing UAT Regression testing Our testing and performance Center of Excellence (CoE) has perfected best practices from our experience providing end-to-end solutions across the software development life-cycle. We are skilled working with different models of software development such as the V-Model, waterfall, spiral, and iterative. We have years of experience working with leading payers and healthcare organizations. Our deep knowledge of payer operations and data has helped evolve specialized analytics applications and technology platforms to address the specific complexities of QA and testing in healthcare payer environments. Proper understanding of requirements, translating them to data requirements, and then using the right data for testing are critical to successfully and quickly execute testing cycles. Analytics is key to determining which data will satisfy the testing requirements. The ability to select data based on production and change it to meet the testing requirements in an effective, efficient, and automated process can save up to 30% of the testing cycle time. GENPACT Solution Overview
Genpact s managed QA services leverage technology and analytics-driven optimization with test automation and risk-based testing to do this. This is enabled by solution accelerators such as Genpact s Payer Test Platform (PTP). PTP exponentially amplifies the positive impact of scale, domain expertise, and QA best practices. Genpact s Payer Test Platform Key features Automates regression testing for day-to-day operational and system changes Optimizes utilization of time and effort during regression testing Provides pre-built test scenarios to test for any new change Includes a pre-built test data repository available for claims selection Includes the option to upload requirements in a grid that will be tied to test cases Reduces the effort and time in preparing test data Allows you to add new scenarios Enables you to add new or replicate existing claims data attributes PTP relies on a risk-based testing technique. The software creates test data to meet the requirements of the test case as well as the test environment across members, providers, and services. The IT department can analyze existing production or test data to determine the risk-value needed to drive the test cases. A key feature of PTP is the standard set of regression test cases payers can use to test claims, benefits and providers, and group and member setups out of the box. PTP can reduce cycle time by 20 40% because the platform has already created the requisite test scripts. Having the expertise to know which data to test also decreases cycle time. PTP s workflow management database for ICD-10 reports at the program level. Macros and robots simplify the work stream of the test teams. And it all happens in the cloud. Generates membership (834) based on the claims data available for testing to load in the client s system Replicates subscriber information in the test claims automatically Replicates the provider and various dates of the test claim automatically Generates the test claim s file based on userselected scenarios Contains user-friendly options or file formats to load the test results Compares pre- and post-test results to identify system changes automatically after code deployment Includes a reporting mechanism to generate a report on the discrepancies identified in the pre- and post-test run results Identifies defects efficiently GENPACT Solution Overview
