NEW CASTLE — Two major Delaware health agencies have joined forces to roll out a new initiative designed to modernize how healthcare providers handle insurance-related processes across the First State.
The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services and the Delaware Health Care Commission announced the launch of a new effort under the Rural Health Transformation Program, known as RHTP. The initiative is focused on enabling real-time insurance verification and prior authorization services statewide.
To accomplish this, the program will make use of the Delaware Health Information Network, commonly referred to as DHIN, which serves as Delaware’s statewide health information exchange platform. The network is expected to play a central role in connecting providers with the tools needed to streamline these processes.
Officials say the initiative is part of a broader push to strengthen Delaware’s health information technology infrastructure and improve access to timely, efficient care for residents across the state.
