Consumer Driven Healthcare
Research has shown that overall healthcare costs can be lowered when consumers adopt healthier behaviors. One way of achieving the adoption of new health behaviors is to make consumers aware of healthcare costs and incentivize them to manage these costs.
So-called Consumer Driven Healthcare (CDH) provides unique challenges for providers as consumer self-pay rates increase and more resources are required to help consumers manage their healthcare responsibilities.
CieloStar’s technology simplifies CDH Administration by providing innovative tools that make the healthcare management process easy for consumers, payers and providers.
