À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode of Care Beyond Code, we're joined by Alberta Manga and Miranda Buder from Custom Design Benefits. They discuss how their unique in-house medical management and patient advocacy teams use data to predict and prevent high-risk hospital admissions.
Listen as they share two high-impact stories of real people navigating difficult diagnoses. Learn how Custom Design Benefits secured a single case agreement for out-of-network cancer care in just three hours to avoid surprise billing. Then, hear how they guided a patient through post-discharge financial anxiety by securing community resources and setting up a hospital payment plan.
What you will learn:
-- How in-house case management eliminates lagging data transfers to assist members immediately.
-- Why looking at the social determinants of health is crucial for a successful patient recovery.
-- How three-way calls can help laymen navigate complex hospital financial conversations.
