Health plans must be acutely aware of their progress towards achieving their Care Gap Closure targets. Their most significant obstacle is to directly impact those specific areas, even though they have limited capabilities to do so.
ReferWell helps health plans improve access to care by efficiently scheduling members for the care they need.
ReferWell care navigators find the “Perfect Match” provider right at the referable moment when the member is saying yes to their care). They then seamlessly schedule the member’s appointment while still on the call. It’s a proven process that provides better access, experience and outcomes for members and better quality performance, which affects the health plan’s bottom line.
