How Enlyte’s Customized Telephonic Case Management Approach Boosted Efficiency and Savings for a Major Carrier
Problem
A large carrier considered outsourcing its telephonic case management services to a third party. After evaluating their current program, including the ongoing financial commitment to maintain a large clinical staff, a decision was made to request proposals from outside parties.
Solution
Aligning to the client’s vision, Enlyte created a customized early intervention telephonic case management program leveraging Enlyte’s risk identification tool for optimal case selection. The program was designed to ensure the carrier was provided a program that promoted injured employee advocacy, ensured timely access to quality care and reduced lost time days. Staffing needs were determined from a claims analysis that reviewed case durations, optimal caseloads and baseline productivity metrics.
