The Importance of DATA
Thinking futuristically, Med Advantage invested heavily in technology and data in it's early years while building one of the largest provider databases in the country. Accurate data is crucial to the efficiency and profitability of health insurance payers and health care organizations. A problem is that much of the provider data which organizations work with is outdated or error prone. How big is the problem? Consider this: outdated or incorrect provider information costs healthcare payers over $26 billion every year. In fact, up to one third of all correspondence and payments to providers is returned because of address errors. Over 40 percent of provider records have errors or missing data. And annually, at least 30-40 percent of all provider records have changes.

Med Advantage, with its partners, can bring your information into focus. We provide healthcare insurance payers and organizations of all sizes with an intelligent combination of data and credentialing services, including advanced analytical technology and information management. And, Med Advantage can help you prepare for the National Provider Identifier mandate, keeping your provider records verified and up-to-date to ensure accurate payments and satisfied members.

The result: Med Advantage can help dramatically improve your credentialing process, the integrity and reliability of your provider data, and in turn, increase organizational efficiency and profitability.
