Clearinghouse Satisfaction Tied to Support, Not Tools

    OREM, UT, July 08, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new clearinghouse report indicates that service and support play a larger role than tools sets in provider satisfaction, contrary to the commonly held perception. This and other key findings were revealed in the latest KLAS report, entitled "Ambulatory Clearinghouse 2014: Choosing between Strong Performers."

"This is the first time we compared provider feedback about ambulatory clearinghouse vendors from large and small practices," said report author Jared Dowland. "Our interviews revealed that the differences in provider satisfaction in both segments lie much more in the support received from vendors rather than in their tools."

As part of this study, KLAS interviewed large and small practices across the country about their clearinghouse solutions. The products reviewed included systems from Allscripts, Availity, Capario, Emdeon, Gateway EDI, GE Healthcare, Navicure, Office Ally, Optum, Practice Insight, RelayHealth and ZirMed.
