Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) January 18, 2011 - Portico Systems, the leader in Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions, will present a complimentary webinar to discuss how payers can leverage an integrated approach to provider management to accelerate their response to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The PPACA requirement clock is ticking and with it are the increasing pressures to meet new client demands, reduce medical and administrative costs, and create new forms of collaboration. The payers that can turn the PPACA regulations into operational opportunity first will be successful in the next era of healthcare.

Leading payers are already initiating the first steps with their new regulation strategies by designing new products, automating operational processes, experimenting with hybrid reimbursement models and deploying new delivery environments (e.g. PCMH). Payers are expecting these initiatives to:

• Reduce provider administration by 15-30%
• Increase the speed to market of new products by 15-25%
• Decrease provider related claims mis-payments 40-60%
• Improve the effectiveness of medical expenditures
