ikaUA and ikaPROFYLE

Multifaceted Utilization Management and Provider Profiling

Payers typically use multiple analytic tools and data sets to obtain answers to important business questions. However, time and money are wasted on the IT resources necessary to support these systems, as well as on reconciling reports generated from different data sources. In the process, internal and external transparency goals are made all the more difficult to achieve.

Together, ikaUA and ikaProfyle offer a multifaceted, Web-based utilization management and provider profiling application that health plans can use to:
  • Create provider network tiers
  • Develop and monitor pay-for-performance (P4P) programs
  • Meet employer reporting requirements
  • Provide fair and accurate comparisons of provider cost and quality
  • Perform external audits to reconcile client billing and provider reimbursement
  • Develop and refine premium rating methods and perform regulatory rate filings
  • Create alternate reimbursement contracts

The systems comprehensively describe all utilization parameters, actuarially comparing their use by providers, provider networks, hospitals and employer groups. Then, rigorously case-mix-adjusted economic and quality performance measures are used to produce a fair and accurate comparative performance index.

Proven Analytic Methodologies

Providers, provider networks, hospitals and employer groups are compared using advanced analytic methodologies developed by ikaSystems and proven through market experience, including:
  • Population-based analysis for PCPs using clinical case groups adjusted for age, gender and case mix
  • Procedurally related group (PRG) specialist comparison based on clinically related procedures
  • Medically related group (MRG) specialist comparison based on medically related conditions
  • RVU utilization comparative analysis
  • Catastrophic analysis at levels of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000, including the diagnoses that caused the catastrophe

Comprehensive and Flexible Reporting

ikaUA and ikaProfyle automatically generate over 120 standard reports covering virtually all of a health plan’s utilization reporting requirements. Standard reports include analyses at the provider, provider-group, hospital and employer-group level. With a click of a button, analysts can drill down into the data at any level and retrieve patient-level information.

Even with such a complete reporting solution, however, health plans will want to create their own reports by downloading data into any off-the-shelf reporting application, which ikaUA also supports.
