Balancing Savings with Member Satisfaction: The AMPS Intelligent Pricing Engine

With 15 years reviewing medical bills and negotiating healthcare prices in every region of the country, AMPS uses its considerable knowledge base to create the industry’s most sophisticated pricing engine. As the nexus of the AMPS All In One program, this proprietary data engine synthesizes the extensive 15-year history of AMPS to generate pricing that is “fair for all” – the provider, the member and the Plan.

Importantly, prior to pricing, the AMPS physician-led medical bill review team with 25 board-certified practicing physicians on staff, review and correct medical claims for upcoding, necessity and other errors that increase claim prices.

Standing Ready to Help Employees: Proactive Member Advocacy

AMPS Member Advocates offer an unparalleled service experience to employees in a self-funded plan. Communication begins at enrollment by educating members on the changes that come with a new healthcare Plan. While the vast majority of members never receive a balance bill, those that do have the dedicated support of the member advocacy team to resolve any billing issues.

Connecting Members with Friendly Providers: Care Navigation

The AMPS Care Navigation Team guides members through the complexities of the healthcare system, facilitating access to providers offering savings via bundled pricing for planned medical procedures, as well as informing members of contracted providers and hospitals that accept AMPS reference-based pricing. AMPS proprietary Provider Finder is updated nightly with provider scoring algorithms that identify “Friendly” providers which are ranked by cost, quality, location, and prior utilization with AMPS.

Fostering Local Relationships: Provider Relations
The AMPS Provider Relations team builds relationships with local providers that give members quality care at a “fair for all” price. Both providers and employers realize benefits when partnering with AMPS—savings for the employer, and reliable, timely payment for providers.

The AMPS Portal offers real-time visibility into Plan performance, with noteworthy metrics about claims, easy-to-understand dashboards, messaging alerts and tailored reports via secure email.
