Like most customer-focused industries, Health Insurance companies are evaluating strategic sourcing alternatives that will allow them to better control costs, reduce capital expenditures and improve the level of service they deliver to their members. One way Health Insurance companies can accomplish these objectives is to consider selective Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) for certain sales, customer service, claims management and back-office processing functions.
