DME/O&P Strategy for California Health Plans
California health plans often manage DME/O&P across several lines of business, delegated arrangements and very different categories. ARCLYFT helps plan teams see the category, geographic and vendor questions clearly—and coordinate the answers across contracting, utilization management, operations and finance.
Questions We Help You Answer
Which vendors and locations document the category capabilities our members need, in the geographies where they live?
Are our product and reimbursement choices aligned with what we are actually buying—service level, fitting and follow-up included?
Where do coverage rules, authorization requirements and payment references differ across our Medicare Advantage, Medi-Cal and commercial lines of business?
Which DME/O&P responsibilities sit with delegated groups or vendors, and where do handoffs need clearer ownership?
Example Assignments
Category network assessment
For a specialty category such as prosthetics or post-mastectomy care, compare documented vendor capabilities by geography and set diligence priorities before a network decision.
Reimbursement-options review
Compare current arrangements for a category with published payment references and the services the plan expects, ahead of a contract renewal.
Cross-functional category brief
Give contracting, utilization management and operations a shared view of one category’s products, service levels and documentation.
