Leading Health Plans Are Adopting AI to Transform Network Operations
Health plans are under growing pressure to improve provider directory accuracy, accelerate roster processing, and prepare for a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. Leading organizations are responding by applying AI across their network operations workflows, from roster intake and provider validation to directory management and audit readiness.
Beyond operational gains, these organizations are reducing regulatory exposure, strengthening their competitive position, and creating a path away from fragmented systems and bespoke point-solution builds.
How AI Is Transforming Network Operations
Customer Spotlight: A National Medicare Health Plan
See how one large health plan improved their directory accuracy and member access with H1’s provider data platform:
- 77% directory accuracy achieved on a CMS-style mock audit
- 80% on pace to exceed target before annual enrollment
- 3K+ provider outreach calls completed
Why Acting Now Matters
The organizations that build scalable provider data operations today will be better positioned for whatever comes next.
The Readiness Gap
While regulations like the REAL Health Providers Act may not be in effect just yet, compliance is not a switch that can be flipped overnight. Meeting new Federal, CMS and state requirements will call for health plans to build data verification, reporting, and governance capabilities that do not exist today.
Closing the Gap
For most organizations, these requirements demand capabilities that take time to build. Waiting until compliance deadlines approach leaves little time to modernize and implement the infrastructure needed to support continuous verification and reporting.
The organizations that treat provider directory accuracy as a strategic initiative today will be best prepared when compliance requirements take effect and when performance becomes publicly visible.
Beyond Point Solutions
Many plans still manage provider data through disconnected tools, spreadsheets, vendor contracts, and manual handoffs.
H1 helps organizations establish a modern provider data foundation:
- One strong source of truth to eliminate overlapping vendors, contracts, and SOWs
- Real-time updates across downstream systems
- Faster onboarding of new teams, lines of business, and data elements
- A migration path away from fragile flat-file processes and legacy implementations
