Sourced limitations

FINEOS
  • FINEOS has acknowledged in its own commentary that employee-benefits core-system programmes have historically run into escalating implementation complexity and cost, with carriers discovering mid-project that the chosen system will not carry them to production.
    Source: FINEOS
TriZetto Facets
  • Cognizant's own public case-study page for a two-million-member regional health plan on Facets does not name the plan and gives only in-year figures (auto-adjudication rising to 95%, first-pass accuracy 98%, backlog reduction of 97%); named-customer quantitative disclosure for Facets is thin outside anonymised studies.
