Specialty Care Management teams up with Springbuk to expand Renal Dialysis Cost Management Solutions to Employers

The collaboration integrates SCM’s cutting-edge renal dialysis cost containment solutions with the actionable insights provided by Springbuk's marketplace.

LAHASKA, PA, USA, May 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a pivotal move aimed at broadening access to cost containment solutions for dialysis claims, Specialty Care Management proudly announces its strategic alliance with Springbuk, the premier health intelligence platform catering to employers and benefits advisors.

With one in seven US adults facing kidney disease, Specialty Care Management leads the industry in mitigating and preventing potential high-cost Dialysis claims, which can pose significant challenges for self-funded health plans.

SCM’s comprehensive programs encompass Dialysis Pricing, Chronic Kidney Disease clinical coaching, and more. Moreover, SCM sets itself apart with flat case rates, no set-up fees, and a full administrative exclusion, offering both clinical and financial solutions that not only pay for themselves but also exceed typical network discounts.

"Specialty Care Management is acutely aware of the immense financial strain that high-cost renal dialysis claims can inflict on self-funded health plans," commented Will Rumsey, Senior VP of Sales at SCM. "The average renal dialysis claim can balloon into a multimillion-dollar burden. However, with SCM's expertise, we consistently deliver significant savings, typically averaging 54% off paid claims and 82% off billed charges. We're excited about the Springbuk partnership as it opens avenues for us to extend our solutions to more self-insured employers, providing them with the essential tools to navigate these challenges effectively."

The Springbuk Activate marketplace serves as a dynamic platform, matching employers with potential partners based on their population's health needs or risks, while simultaneously presenting opportunities for savings and program engagement, all conveniently consolidated in one accessible location.

Specialty Care Management worked with Springbuk to develop a customized “card” within the Springbuk application that identifies the number of members in the employer’s population who may qualify for SCM’s programs and a 12-month savings opportunity estimate based on our assumptions of program success.

"We are delighted to welcome Specialty Care Management to the Springbuk Activate marketplace,” said Joy Powell, Springbuk CEO. “Their focus on managing and mitigating the risk of high-cost renal dialysis and CKD claims aligns with our shared goal of advancing health intelligence to drive strategic decisions. This partnership will empower our clients to navigate the complexities of renal dialysis care with confidence and efficiency, and we are thrilled to have them on board.”
