This unit of a U.S. Territorial Government opted to take their healthcare benefits out of the territory’s regular employee benefit program. They had the legal and procurement capabilities to handle this internally, but engaged MAC to enhance their understanding of benefit provisions and actuarial implications.
-- Provider Payment Transfer System --
How healthcare providers receive payment from payers is another example of how the healthcare industry suffers from serious technology lag, which complicates efforts to address costly fraud, abuse and inefficiencies. This start-up business has developed a state of the art electronic payment transfer system that corrects this deficiency – and MAC is there to help them develop analytic methodologies that leverage their system to solve those problems.
-- Union Arbitration --
When a company’s union pursued a grievance maintaining that a recent benefit change violated the CBA, MAC was called in to provide an actuarial assessment of the change and testify at the arbitration hearing. Largely on the basis of MAC’s report and testimony, the arbitrator ruled in the company’s favor.
-- Pharmaceutical Manufacturer --
A major drug company assembled a panel of experts to help develop a R&D strategy for drugs to combat a major, costly disease for which there is no current treatment. The panel was largely made up of physicians and researchers specializing in this disease. To inject a dose of business & financial reality, Mac was also invited to participate.
