As a state with no established fee schedule, managing Wisconsin’s medical costs can prove challenging. Rising’s certified database – ClearChoice®-Wisconsin – provides a game-changing solution to optimize payer outcomes.
ClearChoice®-Wisconsin Gives Payers Repricing Capabilities
Wisconsin ranks among the highest for workers’ compensation medical reimbursement rates per procedure in the nation. With no published medical fee schedule and an employee’s choice of medical provider, payers’ options for medical cost containment are limited in the State.
To address this limitation, Rising developed ClearChoice®-Wisconsin, one of the State’s select few certified database services available for repricing workers’ compensation medical charges.
How does it work? By leveraging regional groupings, benchmarking data, and proprietary data intelligence tools, Rising analyzes medical treatment data to calculate fair provider reimbursement rates that are highly successful in defending reductions to the Department of Workforce Development (DWD). These analyses produce comprehensive data sets by processing millions of data points, geographically-specific data, and regionally-defined methodologies. The ClearChoice®-Wisconsin database is loaded directly into Rising’s bill review software, where it is utilized to reprice Wisconsin bills to the fairest rate available, generating superior cost savings.
