Review answers to FAQs

My state has no gold carding requirement. Can I still use Cohere Align to personalize the provider experience?

Yes! Reducing the burden for gold-carded providers is just one of many ways Cohere Align personalizes the provider experience. We help your team identify high-performing providers and relevant clinical areas to streamline the submission experience, with or without state-level gold card programs.

I’m having trouble getting providers to attach clinical information to certain requests. Can Cohere Align help?

Absolutely. Cohere Align is designed to build customized provider engagements that support various health plan goals. We’ve implemented provider touchpoints to inform, guide, and educate providers, driving up to a 92% increase in clinical attachment rates.

I’m interested in relaxing provider authorization requirements for certain high-volume services with low denial rates, but not for an entire clinical specialty. Can Cohere help with that?

Yes! As part of the Identify step of our solution, we partner closely with plans and leverage detailed provider analytics to precisely pinpoint clinical codes that should be included in the program. We can provide detailed estimates of the generated impact.

Should I be worried about a potential significant increase in utilization and medical expenses for green-lit providers?

Cohere Align is built on deep provider behavior analytics that identify appropriate provider cohorts to include in the program. Ongoing monitoring—a unique program feature—can also quickly identify variance in provider behavior in real time, making it easy for plans to respond and make adjustments. This can be done within weeks, compared to claims-based six-month or annual lookbacks typical to gold card programs.

I’ve implemented provider burden reduction programs in the past, but keeping providers informed has been challenging, leaving some frustrated or confused. How does Cohere Align address this issue?

Provider engagement is a key functionality for Cohere Align. Programs can include direct communications (e.g., email) and in-platform touchpoints, such as banners or messages that trigger at targeted points in the provider workflow. These are highly customizable to ensure your providers are informed. Cohere also provides detailed reports, which can be shared with provider network partners at your discretion to keep them apprised of their status and progress.
