Making claims a breeze
The challenge
The Influenza Reimbursement Scheme, now managed by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand, reimburses healthcare employers — like GPs and pharmacies — for the cost of vaccinating their staff.
The problem was a slow and outdated email-based process that didn't capture data consistently or offer the Ministry and employers the ability track claims in real-time.
Before switching to the app, claims could take up to six months to process.
The solution
Together with the Ministry, Voco created a self-service portal using the Microsoft Power Platform that allowed:
employers to make multiple claims in a single session and the ability to track the progress of their claims
the Ministry to see real-time and historical reporting on claims made – by region and by employer type.
The results
For the Ministry:
claims could be processed easily and efficiently
the app captured real-time claims data
data could be used to achieve their 80% vaccinated goal by targeting their campaign at those regions and employers with lower uptake.
For healthcare employers:
the reimbursement process was streamlined and transparent
reimbursements were timely.
