Notes from the trenches – how healthcare payers are adopting digital
Factors such as shift from a volume- to value-based
care model, growing importance of customer-
centricity, entry of BigTech players, and increase in
analytics and AI usage explain the urgency shown
by healthcare payers in adopting digital
The overall healthcare payer
digital services market is close
to a US$9 billion opportunity.
This market has seen the
maximum growth in North
America
Payers are focusing on key areas –
product discovery (enrollment and risk
profiling), medical intervention, and
coordinated care (claims management
and member follow-ups) – with digital
initiatives to create differentiated impact
Key challenges in payer digitalization include siloed
operations, financial struggles, disconnected information
systems, regulatory uncertainty, fragmented member
information, and legacy IT; investments in data
interoperability, change management, process
reengineering, and platform modernization can
overcome these challenges

⚫ The overall healthcare payer digital services market is close to
US$9 billion opportunity
– This is expected to grow at a rate of ~13% over 2018-2025
⚫ Analysis of the service provider landscape for healthcare
payer digital services through our PEAK Matrix assessment
highlights the following categories:
– Leaders: Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, NTT Data, TCS,
Optum and Wipro
– Major Contenders: Atos, Capgemini, Citius Tech,
Conduent, DXC Technology, emids, HCL Technologies,
Hexaware, IBM, Mphasis, UST Global, and Virtusa
– Aspirants: CGI, EPAM, HTC Global Services, Tech
Mahindra
⚫ Leaders have established themselves as front runners to
support large customers. They differentiate themselves
through balanced portfolios, the ability to come up with
innovative digital use cases, and continued investments in
technology and services capability development
⚫ For major contenders, their healthcare payer digital portfolios
are not as balanced and comprehensive as those of the
Leaders (either in terms of coverage across the payer value
chain or LOBs) to cater to the differentiated needs of the
payers. This is reflected in either their low vision and capability
positioning or low market impact
⚫ Aspirants lack meaningful digital capabilities for healthcare
payers, largely exhibiting an opportunistic focus. Some of
these players are developing the practice around strategic use
cases to create traction

Leaders:
Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, NTT Data, TCS, Optum and Wipro
Leaders have established themselves as front runners to support large healthcare payer customers that prefer service providers to help them achieve
transformation through digital initiatives
⚫ These players have balanced portfolios, are able to come up with innovative digital use-cases for healthcare firms, and continue to keep pace with the
market dynamics through continued investments in technology and services capability development (internal IP/tools, M&A, partnerships, etc.)
⚫ Leaders have showcased high levels of proactiveness in taking their innovations and next-generation service offerings to clients
⚫ They tend to be the providers of choice for large healthcare firms looking for partners with a similar global footprint
⚫ That said, the current Leaders face a stiff challenge from progressive Major Contenders in terms of both digital services capabilities and commercials.
Hence, they need to focus on building effective solutions that leverage next-generation technology trends and also address the cost-takeout mandate
Major Contenders:
Atos, Capgemini, Citius Tech, Conduent, DXC Technology, emids, HCL Technologies, Hexaware, IBM, Mphasis, UST Global, and Virtusa
The Major Contenders segment comprises a varied mix of global MNCs, large- & mid-sized firms, and healthcare specialists
⚫ While some have built meaningful capabilities to deliver a wide range of digital services across the healthcare LoBs and value chain, others focus on
differentiating by specializing in specific areas within the healthcare domain
⚫ The service portfolios of Major Contenders are not as balanced as compared to Leaders, and also tend to be less comprehensive in value chain
coverage
⚫ However, these players are offering the Leaders stiff competition by making high-profile investments and meaningful partnerships around digital offerings.
⚫ For such players, an opportunity lies in engaging small and medium-sized buyers, especially since this market segment has not been addressed
meaningfully by Leaders
Aspirants:
CGI, EPAM, HTC Global Services, Tech Mahindra
Aspirants are majorly focused on mid-sized clients with low focus on large and very large clients
⚫ Aspirants lack meaningful digital capabilities for healthcare payers, exhibiting largely an opportunistic focus. Some of these players are developing the
practice around strategic use cases to create traction
⚫ Some of the players are trying to grow their healthcare businesses through industry-specific offerings

Additional HLS IT services research references
The following documents are recommended for additional insights on the topic covered in this report. The recommended documents either provide
additional details or complementary content that may be of interest
1. Healthcare IT Security Services PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2020 (EGR-2019-45-R-3456); December 2019. Healthcare challenges, such as changing
business and care delivery models to support patient-centricity are leading to increased investments in data and technology by enterprises. The healthcare
industry has been slow to respond to cyber threats and has lagged behind other industries when it comes to IT security investments, making healthcare a
lucrative target for hackers. As a result, the past few years have seen some of the biggest attacks on healthcare enterprises resulting in theft of millions of
patient records
2. BigTechs in Healthcare: Reimagining the Ecosystem (EGR-2019-45-R-3418); November 2019. BigTechs such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and
Google have a track record of disrupting industries such as retail and telecommunications. The tech giants are now eyeing healthcare – with many having
already made significant investments in the industry. This interest is driven by factors such as increasing healthcare spend, demand for data analytics, and
rising member/patient expectations. The maximum disruption has been created in areas largely outside the traditional scope (payer, provider, PBM, etc.) of
the healthcare industry
3. Healthcare Payer Payment Integrity Solutions PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2020 (EGR-2019-32-R-3371); October 2019. Claims processing is
becoming ever more complex for payers, given issues such as the need to transform healthcare plans’ business models to accommodate new markets and
new lines of business, increasing inflow of members, and increasing regulatory mandates. Payment integrity is a potential help – it can reduce rising
healthcare waste and fraud to ensure that the medical claims are paid correctly and free of wasteful and abusive practices
