Lowering Cost by Enhancing Physician Knowledge

 

Arming ordering physicians with the latest medical evidence empowers them to order the right tests and treatments at the right times.

 

HealthHelp takes a consultative approach to benefit management for diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology, and diagnostic cardiology. Its Consult™ program enhances physician knowledge and emphasizes collaboration, which fuels sustained savings by changing long-term ordering patterns.

 

Consult puts the latest evidence-based medical information in ordering physicians’ hands via its exclusive Medical Imaging Consultant. This helpful tool helps physicians choose options that offer the greatest clinical value with the lowest risk.

 

Consult authorizes complete radiation oncology treatment plans and individual diagnostic imaging or cardiology tests. Physicians submit requests using a quick and convenient on-line application, an integrated voice-response call system, or HealthHelp’s call center staffed by well-trained and qualified customer service representatives.

 

When exam requests and treatment plans don’t correlate with HealthHelp’s evidence-based guidelines, expert peer consultation is just a phone call away. Subspecialists with Thomas Jefferson University, the University of Washington, and other respected medical schools lend credibility to the Consult program, which drives voluntary compliance.

 

Coordinating other HealthHelp programs through Consult can generate even greater savings.
