When government leaders choose a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for Health and Human Services (HHS), they maximize efficiency by entrusting the MSP to navigate the complexities of healthcare vendor management.. With an MSP, leaders in government procurement and HHS can deliver timely results for their departments and the citizens they serve.
Maximize Efficiency Through the HHS Network
Government leaders and the MSP can work together to identify new HHS service providers and efficiently add them to the existing network to provide service for citizens. Identifying this need allows for collaboration toward finding any potential gaps in coverage. By building a full network representing diverse service providers, HHS leaders maximize their healthcare vendor management efficiency and help citizens find individualized care. The steps below represent the basic pathway for government leaders and the MSP to add new service providers to the network.
1. Inviting New Service Providers
Once potential new service providers are identified, they are invited to learn more about the benefits of joining the network. Town hall meetings and one-on-one meetings are often coordinated to introduce potential providers to the healthcare vendor management system and opportunities to serve.
2. Completing Onboarding Documents
When a service provider joins the network, they fill out a New Service Provider packet, which includes all necessary documentation to join the network. These requirements include certificates of insurance, W-9 agreements, a flown-down contract, and any other documentation the client requires.
3. Review and Onboarding
Once all necessary documents are completed, the MSP reviews the new service provider’s documentation. If all requirements of service are met and the client approves the application, the new service provider will be added to the existing network and approved to provide services for HHS clients.
4. Ongoing Compliance Management
Stakeholders in government procurement and HHS maximize their healthcare vendor management efficiencies with this new service provider onboarding process. This expands the reach of their network, thereby delivering new value and opportunity to citizens who use HHS services and resources. The MSP continues to review service providers’ required documentation, removing this administrative task from procurement and HHS stakeholders’ shoulders.
