Do you wonder where your healthcare dollars go sometimes? Here’s one example of the huge revenues and profits made from the payer side and all attained with those algorithms for business intelligence primarily. The company offers centralized finance, information systems, claims processing and medical 
management support functions. We are talking those huge profit making “transactions” which are algorithms that run to audit, analyze and create reporting systems to find areas of savings and sure they are worth some money but way over powering what most hospitals and providers can afford today, but yet you can see the dollar results. The client focus includes pharmaceutical groups, managed care organizations and employer groups, where the dollar to attain are located.
Company ownership includes Fidelity management and research and Vanguard Group. Efficiencies are seen granted via technology but looks at the profits and dollars it costs companies to get there, again this is the huge area eating up the cost of healthcare that runs in the background and is partially the reasons that patients are ending up running short on the care side as dividends are the number one priority so one more example on how Wall Street is making huge algorithmic profits from using their Algo Men for dollar optimization. There’s so much profit that the company broke into the Fortune 500 for the first time. BD
