Smarter UM starts with the right questions

Explore common questions about how Cohere helps health plans modernize utilization management with automation, flexibility, and clinical intelligence.

Why should we consider insourcing utilization management (UM) when our current delegated model works?

Insourcing UM gives your health plan greater control, transparency, and long-term cost efficiency. It eliminates dependency on third-party vendors that may not be aligned with your regulatory, operational, or clinical goals, especially as CMS and other regulators increase scrutiny. With the right partner and platform, insourcing enables faster decisions, better provider satisfaction, and more intelligent automation.

What makes Cohere different from other automation vendors?

We offer more than software. Our platform is built with clinical depth, designed to scale with your in-house team, and backed by real-world outcomes like 90% auto-approval rates and 96% provider adoption. Plus, our configurable approach means we adapt to your policies, not the other way around.

How do we build an in-house UM program if we don’t have existing clinical or operational teams?

You don’t need to go from zero to full capacity overnight. A phased approach allows you to gradually build your clinical team specialty-by-specialty, while leaning on a technology partner for support. The right platform will help you scale intelligently, with workflows, automation, and staffing strategies that grow with your organization.

Can we insource some parts of UM while keeping others delegated?

Absolutely. Cohere’s modular platform and flexible operating model let you insource at your own pace. Keep delegated support for clinical areas you're not ready to manage internally, while building internal capabilities step by step.

How do you help ensure compliance with regulations like CMS-0057-F?

Cohere helps you build compliant processes from day one, including configuration tools to codify policies and audit-ready tracking for transparency. Our team stays current on evolving regulatory requirements so your workflows don’t fall behind.

How does Cohere handle unstructured data like clinical attachments?

Our platform uses clinician-trained, precision AI to extract insights from unstructured data, such as notes in faxes or uploaded documentation. This enables faster, more accurate decisions without manual digging or delays.

What kind of support will our team receive during the transition?

We don’t believe in “plug-and-play.” Cohere provides white-glove implementation support, clinician-informed best practices, and ongoing guidance to help your team adopt new workflows, build internal confidence, and drive provider engagement.
