This innovative network management tool is designed to empower payers in not only creating but also managing and refining their provider networks efficiently. The adaptability of NetworkIQ allows it to cater to the specific operational needs of healthcare payers, aligning perfectly with their maturity and compliance requirements.
Comment from HiLabs CEO
Amit Garg, co-founder and CEO of HiLabs, remarked, "The ability to construct superior provider networks is fundamental to the operational success of healthcare payers. By leveraging our NetworkIQ platform, health plans can provide high-quality, low-cost care, elevating network management from mere compliance to a strategic asset.
