Business Challenge

Our client is an Oregon-based health plan that administers Medicaid and Medicare benefits to over 300,000 members. Our client needed assistance with project management and operations improvement in preparation for a possible merger and acquisition with another health care organization.

The key challenges facing our clients were:

• Operations scalability
• Financial cost savings
• Lack of project management across multiple workstreams
• Market instability
• Impending federal and state regulatory changes
