LAHASKA, PA — Specialty Care Management (SCM) recently announced a strategic alliance with Springbuk, a leading health intelligence platform that serves employers and benefits advisors. This partnership aims to leverage SCM’s expertise in managing and preventing costly Dialysis claims, which have become a major concern for one in seven US adults suffering from kidney disease.
SCM, renowned for its innovative approach in the healthcare industry, offers comprehensive programs including Dialysis Pricing and Chronic Kidney Disease clinical coaching. What sets SCM apart is its unique fee structure, which includes flat case rates, no set-up fees, and full administrative exclusion. These features provide clinical and financial solutions that not only cover their own costs but also deliver savings well beyond typical network discounts.
Will Rumsey, Senior VP of Sales at SCM, highlighted the financial burden that renal dialysis claims can place on self-funded plans, with some claims escalating to multimillion-dollar expenditures. “With SCM’s expertise, we consistently deliver significant savings, typically averaging 54% off paid claims and 82% off billed charges,” Rumsey stated. The collaboration with Springbuk represents a pivotal expansion, enabling SCM to extend its cutting-edge solutions to a broader range of self-insured employers.
Springbuk’s Activate marketplace acts as a connector, aligning employers with potential partners like SCM based on specific health needs or risks within their employee population. This innovative platform facilitates opportunities for savings and enhanced program engagement, streamlining the process for employers looking to address health challenges efficiently.
Springbuk CEO Joy Powell expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, underscoring the mutual goal of advancing health intelligence to make informed strategic decisions. “This partnership will empower our clients to tackle the complexities of renal dialysis care with confidence and efficiency,” Powell remarked.
By integrating SCM’s tailored solution into the Springbuk application, this alliance promises to provide employers with a clearer understanding of their population’s health risks and potential savings from engaging in SCM’s programs. This forward-thinking collaboration will not only ease the financial strains associated with renal dialysis but also pave the way for more informed, strategic healthcare decision-making among self-funded employers.
