Healthcare Payer BPO – Service Provider Landscape with Services PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2018

Manu Aggarwal, Naman Sharma
After a year of new administration taking control of the Oval office, the healthcare payer market continues to face a high degree of uncertainty. Impending decision about the fate of ACA, lack of consensus, and hence, clarity on replacement health law is forcing all the stakeholders to adopt a “wait and watch” approach. Additionally, the government’s keenness to curtail its spend on healthcare, especially in Medicaid space, is further adding to uncertainty in the market.
In addition to political uncertainty, several other factors are also redefining how payers and service providers approach this space. Some of the key factors include— rise of consumerism, increase in prominence of alternate payment models, value becoming a key highlight of almost all the plans, membership growth in government plans, and enhanced role of private payers in government-sponsored health plans.
This environment is not a positive one for BPO service providers, as most of the payers will hold off taking any new steps till there is more clarity on the future of the U.S. healthcare market. However, service providers can take this opportunity to focus on developing capabilities and solutions for certain ongoing industry trends such as shift towards value, consumerism, and rise in membership in government plans. Leverage of digital solutions, such as analytics and automation, is slowly becoming a necessity from the payers’ standpoint.
