  "COVID-19 has dramatically altered the patterns of health care delivery across the world making it more difficult than ever to trace patients’ experiences and outcomes. Kaiser Permanente’s comprehensive health data from testing to medical care and hospitalization allow us to carefully assess the impact of racial and ethnic differences at each stage."
- Vincent Liu, MD, MS, a research scientist with the Northern California Division of Research and critical care specialist with The Permanente Medical Group.

  Each fully automated claims status inquiry costs $11.71 less than the same transaction conducted manually for the medical industry and $10.92 less for the dental industry. Similarly, every eligibility and benefit verification converted from manual to electronic saves the medical industry $8.64 and the dental industry $8.75.

Excerpted from: Care Analytics News, Volume 14 Number 3, February 2021, "Automating Healthcare Administrative Transactions Has Reduced Annual Costs by $122 Billion, $16.3 Billion More Can Be Saved."
