Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan uses Informatica MDM to reduce the cost of data by opening up new opportunities to streamline provider reimbursements, improve patient safety, and enhance care delivery.

Challenges

  • Comply with federal requirements for ICD-10 compliance
  • Streamline provider reimbursements
  • Support operational and analytical healthcare decision making
It’s easy to sell the concept [of MDM] because I have a ton of businesspeople all talking about the value associated with being able to get to this data. Using Informatica MDM, BCBSM’s return on data is exceptional and the business users know it.
