the electronic claims it generates. Our service is directly HIPAA compliant and does not
require a third party to convert our claims into a compliant format.
Transaction Standards and Code Sets
The uses of transaction standards (EDI 837, 835 and others)
and code sets (CPT, ICD and others) make data interchange simpler,
faster, more accurate and reliable.
Eligibility and referral verification will help your office
track patient insurance requirements and reduce the risk of claims
being denied.
Electronic claim and remittance advice help improve
communication and facilitate faster reimbursement;
they also make office automation possible and improve
your operations and cash flow.
Claim status and EOB may be used to adjust receivables
programmatically which triggers billing of secondary insurance
carriers.
Access Control and Security
Information is limited to users on a “need to know” basis.
Users need specific ID and password to access information.
Users with different job functions have different menus and options;
appropriate authorization is required to review and/or revise data.
Use of firewall, strong encryption and other security measures
to protect patient data to be implemented (HIPAA regulations to
be finalized).
Data Tracking and Auditing
All users’ activities are recorded and can be tracked and audited.
Information such as who (user), whom (patient), when (time),
where (which machine) and what (actual data) are all recorded.
Audits can be conducted easily (preferably on the fly),
with minimal disruption and paper handling.
HIPAA compliance is enforced and office operations are
streamlined at the same time.
