Pegasystems powers prior-authorization transformation at fast-growing PBM
A major pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) has transformed its Prior Authorization system with Pega’s business process automation and real-time intelligence, resulting in a 55 percent reduction in cost per authorization, double-digit increases in contact center productivity and the delivery of memberfocused service.
Business Issue
After growing more than 100% in each of the past four years, a major PBM needed to overhaul its prior authorization system to cut costs and call times while delivering a member-centric service experience.
Solution
Real-time intelligent automation determines authorization approval, eliminating manual lookups in the call center and substantially reducing the number of pends.
