iTech Workshop and Biz Technology Solutions collaborate on Insurance Claims Processing Solution

    /24-7PressRelease/ - INDIA - March 05, 2006 - iTech Workshop (iTech), a data integration company with special focus on healthcare, announces that it has partnered with Biz Technology Solutions (BizTechs) to deliver a custom Insurance Claims Processing (ICP) solution as part of its expEDIum Services offering.

iTech's custom ICP solution uses an expEDIum X12N L1 and L2 Validating Engine with expEDIum HCFA and 837P Transformation Adapters internally.

The ICP application allows for the submission of HCFA Print Image files and 837P files from web based provider accounts. The engine automatically processes batch files into claims in conjunction with internal editing features and produces a resubmission of claims using HCFA-1500 look-alike forms. The expEDIum solution also performs some claim scrubbing functions and payer specific rule validation before the claim is delivered to another back-end database over a secure connection.

With an early beta of this solution being released this week, this system is expected to process 7000 claims per day, support 2000 provider users and over 10 manual operators editing claims. The application is extensible to support a variety of other electronic healthcare format files as well as insurance claims such UB-92 (Institutional), ADA (Dental) and any other standard or non-standard healthcare forms.

Mr. Siva Narayanaswamy, CEO of iTech said that this solution provides clearinghouses, billing service bureaus and Healthcare BPOs a rapid, cost effective and geography-free way to improve electronic claim life cycle management while providing direct payer connectivity.

Mr. Mike Chouffani, CEO and founder of BizTechs said "working with iTech has resulted in a quick, high-quality software implementation while allowing us to focus on understanding our customer needs and design an optimum technical solution."

Mr. Reda Chouffani, a co-founder and VP of BizTechs said "our company is involved with the development or deployment of complex medical billing, medical records and medical lab processing products. Due to time constraints, it was very critical for us to work with a software company that understands our business".
