How we've helped others:

  • With Amerihealth Caritas, FLEX Consulting turned around a program that had been in decline for some time. First we defined realistic expectations for deliverables needed from different business teams, products, states, legal teams, and technical teams.  In the first 30 days we set new budget expectations, hired/fired/reallocated resources, and completed the Consent Form Repository and Universal Form implementation.  IT infrastructure was moved to the cloud, and everything was brought into full compliance.  In the end Discovery, Design, Implementation, and Release was completed for $4M, less than 20% of the original budgeted cost.
