IHH Healthcare partners some Integrated Shield insurers to rein in private hospital bills
The services of iXchange as a third-party administrator have dampened bill size growth to the low single digits
A PARTNERSHIP between IHH Healthcare and some Integrated Shield Plan (IP) insurers could well be a way to rein in escalating costs and claims from private hospital IPs.
The partnership taps the services of iXchange, the third-party administrator (TPA) of IHH Healthcare, which provides end-to-end cost management and other solutions for insurers or payers.
As a TPA, iXchange is a gatekeeper, helping to facilitate letters of authorisation (LOAs), for instance, which IP policyholders typically seek prior to hospital admission.
