How a Multi-Plant Manufacturer Improved Cashless Hospitalization Support
One Claims Concierge owned the cashless journey from admission through discharge.
VIMA helped a multi-plant manufacturer simplify cashless hospitalization by assigning one Claims Concierge to each admission. The Concierge coordinated with the hospital, TPA and insurer, delivered the first touchpoint in under two hours on average, and maintained complete follow-up visibility.
During hospitalization, employees were expected to coordinate with the hospital desk, TPA and insurer themselves. Multiple contact points created confusion, while HR had limited visibility into approvals, pending documents and discharge delays.
The Challenge
- No concierge support during an active hospitalization
- Multiple uncoordinated points of contact for a single claim
- Employees could not access priority support when it mattered most
- Support began only after a problem or escalation occurred
How VIMA Delivered
- A dedicated Claims Concierge as the single point of contact for each admission
- Hospital, TPA and insurer coordination handled on the employee's behalf
- Proactive status updates to the employee and HR
- One team accountable from admission through discharge

Frequently asked questions
What does a Claims Concierge do during hospitalization?
A Claims Concierge coordinates with the hospital, TPA and insurer, follows up on cashless approvals, explains pending requirements and keeps the employee and HR informed from admission through discharge.
When should cashless claims support begin?
Support should begin as soon as the hospitalization is reported or the cashless request is initiated. Early coordination helps identify documentation gaps, approval delays and network issues before they affect treatment or discharge.
Why is a single point of contact important during a claim?
A single point of contact reduces fragmented communication. The employee, hospital and HR know who owns the claim history, the next action and the escalation path, which improves accountability during a time-sensitive event.
How does HR receive updates on active hospitalizations?
A structured claims support process provides proactive status updates rather than waiting for HR to ask. Updates should cover approval status, pending requirements, insurer or TPA responses and any issue that could delay discharge.
