a) More cost efficient,
b) Will increase productivity, and
c) Will raise the overall level of care and service patients, network members, and providers receive.
What does this mean to Molina? Well, AT&T’s solution gives Molina latest and emerging technologies like VoIP that goes beyond the advantages of a traditional converged voice and data network by offering additional telephony features etc.
It’s a win-win situation for both AT&T and Molina.
