Session Details How to Turn PPACA Regulations into Operational Opportunity. Register to attend this free webinar at http://bit.ly/fIAUNv

2011-01-19

BLUE BELL, PA, January 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Portico Systems, the leader in Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions, will present a complimentary webinar to discuss how payers can leverage an integrated approach to provider management to accelerate their response to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The PPACA requirement clock is ticking and with it are the increasing pressures to meet new client demands, reduce medical and administrative costs, and create new forms of collaboration. The payers that can turn the PPACA regulations into operational opportunity first will be successful in the next era of healthcare.

Leading payers are already initiating the first steps with their new regulation strategies by designing new products, automating operational processes, experimenting with hybrid reimbursement models and deploying new delivery environments (e.g. PCMH). Payers are expecting these initiatives to:

• Reduce provider administration by 15-30%
• Increase the speed to market of new products by 15-25%
• Decrease provider related claims mis-payments 40-60%
• Improve the effectiveness of medical expenditures

What: "Leadership Strategies for PPACA Response" webinar

Who: Sam Muppalla, EVP, chief strategy and marketing officer
Aaron Fulner, senior product marketing analyst

When: Wednesday, January 26, 2011; 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. Pacific time)

How: Register to attend this complimentary webinar at http://bit.ly/fIAUNv.

Attendees will learn:

• The impact of PPACA on provider operations and provider networks
• How to respond to the MLR and administrative cost caps
• How to align provider reimbursement with the performance and quality goals of PPACA
