Consulting Services

Need help with your Optum claims pricing software?

Optum products are some of the best in the business, but they can be complex to navigate. Many clients find themselves falling behind on updates, misconfiguring their software, or simply don't have the resources to get what they are paying for. I've spent the last decade working with Optum software and have a deep understanding of the products and the challenges companies face when using them. I'm here to help you get the most out of your software and avoid the pitfalls that can cost you money.

Interface Development

Interface dev for EASYGroup, Web Services, PSI, and Rate Manager.

Are your employees spending countless hours manually entering data into Optum software? I can help you build an interface leveraging Optum's APIs to automate this process.

Update Management

Learn from an expert how to update and maintain Optum software.

Keeping Optum software updated and running smoothly can be a daunting task. Updates are released bi-weekly, and many teams struggle to keep up. I can help your team understand the update landscape and stay focused on what really matters.

Batch Processing

Layout configuration, data mapping, and more.

Batch processing is often a critical component of a company's PPS operations but getting started can be a challenge. I can help you design and implement a solution using Optum's APIs and tools.

Containers

Optum does not offer a containerized version of their software.

In 2025 container workflows are the standard for software deployment. I'm looking to partner with a organization that is excited about containerizing their Optum EASYGroup software.

Want to leverage custom rate files to get the most out of your PPS software? I can help you design and implement a solution.
