TRS Offers Minimized Paid Charges and Predictability
OptumHealth is able to obtain deep discounts due to the leverage we have based on the 48 million eligible lives we cover. In fact, our TRS Centers of Excellence networks deliver a 43 percent average discount off of billed charges.
Transplant Resource Services contracts are uniquely structured to control the payer’s financial exposure and cost variability due to complications and readmissions. What’s more, TRS transplant case rates cover all transplant-related charges including evaluation, transplant (hospital, physician, organ acquisition) and 90 days of follow-up care.
In addition, TRS case rates utilize a bank of inpatient days that may be used during the initial inpatient stay or anytime during the 90-day follow-up period. This contracting methodology helps ensure that more services will be paid at the case rate or fixed-unit cost.
