DME ePrescribing helps health plans trim waste, optimize performance
In 2021, Parachute Health helped connect health plan members on over 450 unique health plans including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, United, and more to the DME they needed to survive and thrive. The Parachute Platform provides unique value for health plans that sign up directly.
Value begins before signup
Health plans derive value from our technology even before becoming partners, whenever members’ clinicians or facilities order on-platform. That’s because Parachute Health technology empowers providers with workflows for accurate coding, reduced complexity, eligibility checks, and complete documentation regardless of health plan or payer.
Our comprehensive workflow management means that even if you’ve never heard our name, chances are Parachute Health’s technology has already helped keep your members healthy and connected to DME. When plan members receive appropriate disease management and preventive care, including by receiving crucial DME fast thanks to the efficiency of ePrescribing, they’re less likely to get sicker or suffer secondary complications from lack of timely treatment.
For rising-cost categories like CPAP, oxygen, and diabetes, ordering through Parachute Health could also mean lower incidence of severe illness and readmissions, better quality of life, and even improved survival rates for plan members!
