TEANECK, N.J., Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant
(NASDAQ: CTSH) today announced that Santa Clara Family Health Plan
(SCFHP), a California-based health
plan, selected Cognizant's leading TriZetto software solutions to
support the overall administration of its business operations on a
single, modern healthcare platform designed for efficiency,
flexibility and improved member and provider experiences.
Located in Santa Clara County,
SCFHP is a local safety net health plan providing affordable health
insurance to more than 280,000 members in its three lines of
business: Medi-Cal, Healthy Kids, and Cal MediConnect. Medi-Cal is
California's Medicaid program,
Healthy Kids is a locally funded insurance program, and Cal
MediConnect is a Medicare-Medicaid plan for dual eligible
beneficiaries.
With the support of Cognizant's strategic consulting services,
SCFHP will be implementing TriZetto's QNXT enterprise core
administration platform to support their Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids
programs beginning in June 2017. With
this implementation, SCFHP's Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids programs
will be on the same platform as its Cal MediConnect program. The
TriZetto QNXT solution is one of the most widely deployed platforms
supporting Medicaid Managed Care Organizations in the U.S. and
provides SCFHP with the ability to run multiple lines of business
on a single platform, ensure compliance, streamline operations,
reduce costs and improve customer experience.
As an existing TriZetto client, SCFHP will migrate the data of
its 280,000 Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids members to the QNXT platform,
improving operational efficiency and providing new flexibility in
the evolving healthcare marketplace. In addition, the platform will
enable SCFHP to streamline the management and processing of
grievances, appeals and complaints.
"As the healthcare industry continues to grow in complexity, it
is essential to leverage proven solutions that can efficiently
manage health plan operations, but also meet changing industry
regulations and compliance," said Jonathan
Tamayo, Chief Information Officer, Santa Clara Family Health
Plan. "TriZetto's solutions suite and Cognizant's expertise will
help us meet business requirements, while supporting our commitment
to providing the highest quality customer service to our members."
"Leveraging digital technologies and modern infrastructures is
crucial for organizations to remain compliant, while driving
success in today's changing healthcare landscape," said
Krish Venkat, President, Healthcare
and Life Sciences at Cognizant. "Our integrated consulting,
software and IT solutions will help SCFHP streamline business
growth and workflow, and provide improved experiences across the
care continuum."
