December 19, 2019/in Announcements, Featured/by ryan kesner

PHOENIX, Ariz. (December 19, 2019) — With a laser focus on changing the trajectory of total healthcare spending, which surpassed $3.6 trillion in 2018 and is expected to rise 5.5% to exceed $3.8 trillion in 2019, Vālenz™ announced the integration of Spiro into its health administrative ecosystem.

As a proactive relationship management solution typically used to boost efficiency and effectiveness, Spiro provides Valenz teams with a transparent lens into new and existing client activity. The resulting insights quickly illuminate new ways to disrupt the cost curve for Valenz clients, which include self-insured employers, third-party claim administrators, brokers and benefit consultants, trust and labor organizations, stop-loss carriers, integrated healthcare delivery networks, and health/dental plan payers.

“By embedding Spiro into our business processes, we can extract meaningful data from client interactions, giving everyone across our enterprise actionable business intelligence to help our clients reduce their total cost of care,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Revenue Officer at Valenz. Spiro’s AI platform offers tremendous efficiencies for the Valenz team and, as Gelb explains, “It’s a game-changer for our clients because now we can consolidate their information across text messages, calls and documents to rapidly deploy new solutions for our clients.”

According to Adam Honig, CEO and co-founder of Spiro, companies that use Spiro’s AI-driven, proactive relationship management platform can expect to work smarter and close faster – and for innovative firms like Valenz, there are opportunities to take things to the next level. “I’m impressed at how Valenz is integrating our platform into its ecosystem to generate value well beyond their own benefit,” Honig said. “They are clearly a forward-thinking firm, using our platform to engage early and often to reduce the cost of healthcare for their clients.”

Celebrating the Case Manager’s Critical Role in Smarter, Better, Faster Healthcare

October 16, 2019/in Featured, Valenz Care/by Holly Lawton

This week, in honor of National Case Management Week (Oct. 13-19), leaders at Vālenz are sending a message to case managers across the country: Thank you.

“Case managers are pivotal in the complex process of ensuring safe, effective and timely patient care,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Revenue Officer of Valenz. “In the nationwide effort to reduce healthcare costs while improving quality and outcomes, case management delivers big wins for everyone, especially patients and self-insured employer groups.”

Case management is one of three primary, URAC-accredited services offered via Vālenz Care, a core solution within the complete healthcare administrative ecosystem recently unveiled by Valenz. Dedicated nurse case managers work closely with patients, providers, employers and payers to target the most appropriate levels of care before services are rendered, resulting in dramatic savings for the plan and member.

“Driven by actionable data – both individualized and aggregated – the work of our care management team helps our clients move from a plan model of reactive care to one of proactive population health management,” explained Amy Gasbarro, President of Valenz Care.

For patients, case managers are care coordinators, navigators, and advocates for high-quality care that comes at a lower cost because it is the right care at the right place at the right time – every time. For self-insured employers and other professional stakeholders, they offer a value-focused path to managing health administrative costs and quality by reducing expensive emergency room visits, hospitalizations and other high-dollar claim events.

For all that and more, the entire team at Valenz is grateful to case managers – this week and every week.

United Claim Solutions Becomes Vālenz

September 30, 2019/in Featured, Press/by ryan kesner

The UCS Family of Companies now operates under unified corporate name, delivers complete health administrative ecosystem

The United Claim Solutions Family of Companies – one of the nation’s leading medical cost reduction and claims flow management organizations serving the self-insured employer community directly and with partners in the benefit consultant, broker and payer communities – today announced the transformation of the organization through its new name: Vālenz™.  The new name unites a suite of solutions and completes the integration of all of the resources necessary to deliver the industry’s first complete healthcare administrative ecosystem.

“Valenz is a fully integrated, single-source, end-to-end platform that connects and analyzes cost and quality data to reduce the total cost of care while improving health outcomes,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Revenue Officer. “As data flow through the Valenz ecosystem, our analytic and predictive capabilities enable us to engage early and often for smarter, better, faster healthcare.”

Actionable data is key. The firm has spent years and invested in key resources building integrated data systems and fine-tuning solutions that support its client base of self-insured employers, third-party claim administrators, brokers and benefit consultants, labor and trust organizations, stop-loss carriers, integrated healthcare delivery networks, and health/dental plan payers.

Founded in 2004 as United Claim Solutions with a vision of creating comprehensive and innovative solutions to support the self-insured industry, over nearly two decades, the company has steadily expanded its development and use of analytics that drive new solutions and reset the expectations of a service partner.

In 2015, the company launched a division dedicated solely to filling the void in access to high-value medical networks and creating alignment between the payer, patient, employer, medical professional and health system. Two years later, they acquired and integrated a suite of care management offerings, followed quickly by another acquisition that brought software-based tools for payment integrity and compliance into the evolving health administrative ecosystem.

Today, the Valenz ecosystem comprises these services – powered by data from payers, employers, patients and health systems – to provide a highly innovative solution. Available as standalone products and as an integrated platform, the Valenz ecosystem includes Vālenz Care (formerly INETICO); Vālenz Access (formerly NX Health Network); Vālenz Claim (formerly United Claim Solutions); and Vālenz Assurance (formerly Zebu Compliance Solutions).

“As healthcare costs continue to rise, affecting the plan costs of employers and the out-of-pocket expenses of members, we are taking a fully integrated, data-driven approach that substantially impacts total medical spend in key areas,” said Gelb. “This complete ecosystem brings our clients superior cost savings and outcomes than they can achieve elsewhere by focusing action on the claims that drive these costs.”
