Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, the state’s largest health plan, is expanding its use of Inovalon’s data-driven health care solutions to include the provider’s Health Insurance Marketplace services.
Inovalon's health insurance exchange services address key challenges facing health plans in the areas of risk score accuracy, risk score verification processes, quality measurements and improvements, regulatory data submissions and medical record audit support. Inovalon offers these capabilities to health plans seeking to compete in the public health exchange marketplace with Qualified Health Plans as defined by the Affordable Care Act.
Using Inovalon’s Health Insurance Marketplace, “Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota will promote a wider, more economical and timely availability of health services for the people of Minnesota," Sandy Hill, senior director of the health care reform and exchange office at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, said in statement.
