Payerpath Continues Nationwide Expansion with New Contracts

Growing number of forward-thinking healthcare organizations turn to Payerpath to help meet claims management needs

"It is our belief that healthcare is locally driven, so as Payerpath expands nationally, we will continue to focus our efforts on establishing relationships with the dominant payers in each individual market," said Jim Riley, vice president of sales for Payerpath. "This approach enables us to develop close, interactive partnerships with payers and providers, thus leading to reduced claim denials, better reporting and expedited payments for our provider customers."

Payerpath's suite of Internet-based products includes:

• Claims Management - Offers a secure method for electronically submitting claims to healthcare organizations.
• Eligibility Verification - Provides real-time access to insurance eligibility and benefit information, including effective dates, benefit caps, co-payments and plan policies.
• CodeCorrect - Helps billing staff quickly select appropriate billing codes and stay current with constantly changing requirements.
• CodeCheck - Provides immediate alerts of potential coding and compliance issues prior to payer submission.
• Secondary Billing - Generates a secondary claim electronically, applies secondary specific payer edits, creates a matching EOB and completely manages the printing and mailing.
• Claims Status - Enables real-time queries to payer organizations to determine the status of a transmitted claim.
• Remittance Posting - Eliminates manual remittance advice handling.
• Patient Statements - Provides a turnkey service for producing and mailing patient statements and third-party payer collection letters.
