BestCare Direct
BestCare Direct, OneWorld Assist’s powerful hospital comparison
tool, delivers insurers the lowest overall cost of care on
US medical claims.
A new approach to cost containment
The way insurers view cost containment is changing. OneWorld
Assist recognizes providers are selected on a lowest net cost
of care basis, not just on savings rates. BestCare Direct ensures
claimants are referred to providers with reasonable retail rates
and low mortality and complication rates. This results in greater
program savings than the traditional preferred provider organization
method.
Lower Cost, Better Care
BestCare Direct analyzes hospital quality and cost effectiveness
by leveraging published outcomes data. Criteria such as diagnosis,
procedure and location are selected for a given claim or case,
instantly generating a report comparing all hospitals within
a specific geographic region on variables such as:
- Retail Cost
- Mortality
and complication rates for specific procedures
- Number of
procedures performed per year
- Length of Stay
