Separate backlog from new work.
Agree a cutoff date, ownership of open accounts, and how incoming responses are routed. Identify time-sensitive items for the authorized team to review; do not assume a handover resets payer deadlines.
How we work
Moving work to a new team is an operational change—not just a new vendor name. Use this proposed engagement sequence to agree the work, protect continuity, and make responsibilities visible.
Discovery
Discuss your service mix, team structure, current systems, and the work that is not moving. Use business-level information, not patient records.
Move forward when: Both teams can describe the same problem.
Workflow mapping
Identify what starts a task, which information is required, who can approve a change, and where an exception returns. Separate the old backlog from new work.
Move forward when: Every selected queue has an owner and an escalation path.
Scope & access
Document included tasks, reporting definitions, communication channels, commercial terms, and access requirements. Assess applicable agreements before operational data is shared.
Move forward when: Required agreements and access approvals are in place.
Launch
Confirm available inputs, review a small agreed work batch, and resolve process questions before expanding the queue. Timing depends on access, documentation, and scope.
Move forward when: The handoff works and unresolved issues have named owners.
Ongoing review
Compare work received, completed tasks, pending dependencies, and repeat exceptions. Revisit the scope when new locations, services, or systems change the operating conditions.
Move forward when: Reporting leads to a documented next action.
Before a transition
Agree a cutoff date, ownership of open accounts, and how incoming responses are routed. Identify time-sensitive items for the authorized team to review; do not assume a handover resets payer deadlines.
List the systems involved, approved access methods, source documents, and retained responsibilities. A system name on a scope does not establish integration or access permission.
There is no universal launch date. Timing depends on scope approval, system access, available inputs, and readiness on both sides. Get the transition planning checklist →
