Discovery Health Partners honored for tech initiative

ITASCA - Discovery Health Partners has been named an honoree of a 2020 FutureEdge 50 Award from IDG.

The honor is given to organizations that are pushing the edge with new technologies to advance their business for the future.

Discovery's Case Open Logic initiative was piloted earlier this year to test machine learning as part of its claims ranking process in its subrogation practice. The company saw an opportunity to leverage its decade of case outcomes data to fuel a subrogation model that eliminates hours of manual work, results in more accurate case identification, and reduces member friction.

Discovery is implementing improvements and enhancements and intends to roll out similar machine learning capabilities to other lines of business such as data mining, clinical audit and coordination of benefits (COB).

"Combining technology innovationwith our team's decades of experience in the health payer space is at the heart of how we deliver game-changing results for our customers," said Discovery CIO Dan Iantorno.
