Health Plan of San Mateo Selects Verisk Health Solutions to Mitigate Fraud and Pay Claims Accurately
Verisk Health, a leader in data-driven healthcare solutions, today announced that Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM), a Medicaid (MediCal) plan based in South San Francisco, selected the Verisk Health payment accuracy suite of solutions to help mitigate healthcare fraud and pay claims accurately.
HPSM will leverage those solutions to identify fraud prepayment, process claims in subsecond time, improve claim validation, and lessen overpayments. Verisk Health is a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business.
“HPSM chose Verisk Health because we trust that its knowledge base and sophisticated technology will help us quickly identify areas of risk before a problem occurs,” stated Ron Robinson, CFO of Health Plan of San Mateo. “Verisk Health understands both Medicare and Medicaid—HPSM’s two main lines of business. With Verisk Health as our trusted vendor, we’re confident that we can both improve our billing processes and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.”
“HPSM was looking for a flexible solution that’s effective at identifying fraud, waste, and abuse and eliminating overpayments,”
said David Jackson, head of Payment Solutions at Verisk Health. “In addition, the Plan has specific needs to incorporate state Medicaid
(MediCal) payment rules. With our large California client base?and as the only vendor to incorporate state-specific Medicaid payment rules?we’re well positioned to satisfy that need. HPSM has been using our HEDIS solution since 2013, and we look forward to expanding our engagement.”
