Santa Clara Family Health Plan (SCFHP, Campbell, Calif.) has selected Cognizant’s (Teaneck, N.J.) 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, the vendor reports. The implementation expands and existing relationship between SCFHP and Cognizant/TriZetto.
SCFHP is a local safety net health plan serving Santa Clara County, California, has the mission of 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.
SCFHP, with help from Cognizant’s services arm, will implement TriZetto’s QNXT enterprise core administration platform to support its Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids programs beginning in June 2017, the vendor reports. The implementation will put SCFHP’s Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids programs on the same platform as its Cal MediConnect program. The TriZetto QNXT solution, which widely deployed for Medicaid Managed Care Organizations in the U.S., will provide SCFHP with the ability to run multiple lines of business on a single platform, ensure compliance, streamline operations, reduce costs and improve customer experience, the vendor asserts.
As an existing TriZetto client, SCFHP will migrate the data of its 280,000 Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids members to the QNXT platform, with the aim of improving operational efficiency and providing new flexibility in the evolving healthcare marketplace, the vendor says. The new platform will also enable SCFHP to streamline the management and processing of grievances, appeals and complaints, Cognizant says.
