Agadia, a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions, has officially announced the launch of a brand-new web-based Grievance Management solution called GrievancesHub, which is designed to help Health Plans and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) manage and resolve member grievances, all while staying compliant with CMS requirements. Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its complaint tracking abilities where GrievancesHub’s centralized system effectively streamlines the entire process, and therefore, makes it easier for users to log and monitor member complaints. Such a setup, like one might guess, goes a long distance to ensure timely resolution and improved member satisfaction. Next up, we must get into the solution’s robust reporting capabilities that unlock for you an uninterrupted access to CMS, access which is usually required reports for the purpose of audits and monitoring productivity. Complimenting the same are out-of-the-box reporting options that let you generate valuable insights. Anyway, then, there are letter templates one can use to easily respond to grievances. In practice, this translates to how managers can upload and manage letter templates without any hassle, whereas caseworkers can use them to generate responses for specific cases. Moving on, the solution in question also has an intelligent automation angle to it. The stated angle can be leveraged to, for instance, automatically dismiss cases that fall outside the CMS-mandated timeline, thus eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Joining these features is a role-based access functionality, which gives different users a chance to perform specific functions based on their roles. At launch, the platform offers roles like triage, caseworker, manager, and admin, as well as any custom roles to ensure appropriate access and data security.
“We are excited to introduce GrievancesHub to the market, offering a solution that addresses the unique needs of Health Plans and PBMs in managing member grievances,” said Ross Loomis, Senior Vice President of Sales at Agadia. “Our collaboration with key Grievance Management stakeholders across the industry has enabled us to develop a solution that streamlines processes, enhances efficiency, and ensures compliance with CMS requirements.”
Hold on, there are still a few bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t touched on the solution’s integration facility. Aiming to enhance user experience, this particular facility has its utility rooted in delivering communications through the electronic medium so to let users achieve secure and timely access of crucial grievance-related information. Another detail worth a mention here is concerned with the platform’s client focused nature. The stated nature reveals itself once you consider GrievancesHub was specifically conceived to accommodate the unique needs of health plans and PBMs. More on the solution’s bid to entertain specific needs will include its customizable turnaround times. Enabling users to tailor the grievance resolution process, the product in question allows configuration of internal deadlines, as well as adjustment of timelines to meet CMS requirements for optimized efficiency and compliance. Interestingly, there is also a promise to enhance the user’s workflow which involves a system where cases are appropriately handled. On top of that, once realized, this new and enhanced workflow even allows for case escalation to managers when needed, while simultaneously facilitating effective communication within the team. To round off the highlights, we have comprehensive training & support that is provided during implementation and beyond for smooth adoption and optimal utilization.
