In response to the needs of its clients, Ecom has developed a prospective network selection tool, Origin, which improves the enrollment experience for subscribers at the point-of-sale. One of the most common questions asked by new members is, “are my hospital and Primary Care Physician (PCP) covered in the network?” Origin allows the salesperson, broker or HR representative to answer that question by providing a web-based interface to Ecom’s data repository.
By entering the specific provider(s) of a subscriber, Origin indicates the PPO options in rank order of highest in-network penetration. Origin can be privately labeled or provided as a web-service to interface with a payer’s front-end sales or broker portal used to support its sales distribution process.
Through the use of Origin, clients will improve the in-network utilization and associated savings, as well as, the overall enrollment experience for new members entering the group or plan.
