We deliver healthcare efficiently by using resources responsibly.
AFFORDABILITY
In Your Words
NEW!
Improving the patient experience through price transparency
“We shared what Sutter is doing to respond to the desires of an increasingly informed consumer, the implementation of price transparency regulations and our work to address price transparency. Our work is not done—we continue to evolve during our journey to improve the patient experience.”
Lowering the total cost of care through quality initiatives
“When patients receive timely, high-quality care with a focus on prevention and care coordination, it results in better health outcomes and helps lower the total cost of care. Take disease management, for example, where prevention is paramount. Investing in optimum care today—through screenings, care management, patient engagement and education and more—helps omit suffering and prevent costly illnesses, complications or future chronic conditions.”
Adeptly preventing and overturning insurers’ denials of claims, to benefit the patient
“Affordability doesn’t just include the management of insurers’ denials of coverage. That’s the retrospective aspect of utilization management. Our operations team interfaces with commercial payors on the front end to prevent denials from even occurring. We want to make sure the Sutter patient receives the right care at the right time in the right setting.”
