Health Plan of San Mateo Successfully Achieves Cal MediConnect Readiness with HEALTHsuite® Mercato from RAM Technologies
HEALTHsuite® Mercato is the solution of choice for health plans looking to maximize efficiency in the administration of Medicare / Medicaid dual eligible programs.
Fort Washington, PA, April 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- RAM Technologies, Inc. (RAM) is pleased to announce that the Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM), utilizing the HEALTHsuite Mercato administrative platform, has successfully completed the readiness review and has launched the Cal MediConnect program.
Cal MediConnect is California’s version of the Medicare-Medicaid Financial Alignment Initiative (FAI) instituted as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The focus of the FAI program is for states and their contracted health plans to implement fully integrated care programs for Medicare and Medicaid eligible beneficiaries in coordination with the federal government. In order to successfully complete the readiness review, health plans must meet core Medicare and Medicaid requirements. As part of the review, CMS and the State perform an in-depth analysis of each plans’ operational capabilities to meet the complexities of the FAI program.
The Health Plan of San Mateo will be providing integrated Medicare-Medicaid benefits to dual eligible residents in San Mateo County. HPSM has used HEALTHsuite Mercato and eHealthsuite™, RAM’s fully integrated healthcare administrative suite, for several years and has been able to quickly and easily incorporate the administration of this new line of business onto the RAM platform.
“We are very pleased with the extensive capabilities that HEALTHsuite Mercato and eHealthsuite provide to us in support of our Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) and Medicare Advantage business,” stated Ron Robinson, Director of Finance and Administration for the Health Plan of San Mateo. “Leveraging those capabilities to administer our Cal MediConnect dual eligible line of business was an easy decision. We value our partnership with RAM and look forward to working together on future endeavors.”
“The Health Plan of San Mateo administers many health programs – each with their own unique processing requirements and business needs,” said Robert Tulio, President of RAM Technologies. “RAM is committed to partnering with HPSM as they expand their service offerings to accommodate the rigors of the Cal MediConnect (Dual Eligible) program. We are pleased to have the Health Plan of San Mateo as a client. We embrace their experience and perspective as we work together to meet the challenges of our industry.”
