Government Affairs
At Change Healthcare, we collaborate with policymakers, our customers and industry experts to inspire a better healthcare system and accelerate the journey to value-based healthcare.
Our Policy Priorities
A Connected Healthcare Ecosystem. With our partners, we accelerate interoperability, helping reduce the time and effort needed to track down patients' medical records, and advance population and public health.
Reducing the Costs of Healthcare. We are committed to helping our customers deliver better care and realize improved outcomes. We help payers and providers process clean claims, improve denial and appeals management, optimize revenue performance, improve payment accuracy, and facilitate value-based care.
Improving Quality Outcomes. Payers, providers, and policymakers alike recognize the importance of the shift to value-based care. Through a combination of analytic tools and care coordination services, we help providers reach their patient populations to improve outcomes and enhance the patient experience, both in-person and virtually.
