The Challenge

Health Insurance companies deal with thousands of claims every day that needs to be processed & paid/denied. Many of them still handle 20-30% of their claim volume coming via paper forms, in spite of an increasing use of Document Management System for processing. The client is a large Healthcare Management Services in the USA offering Health Insurance claims processing, Medical billing & Collection and other Healthcare related support services to Healthcare Organizations.

Every paper form although archived well, was consuming a lot of time during retrieval. The client desired faster retrieval time that led to faster processing of the Insurance form and cost savings. Digitization of the paper forms was a tedious job and the cost involved was high. The job included processing different types of forms like HCFA 1500, UB92, etc., for which Comat needed understanding of the rules before processing. Quality checks had to be defined at different levels for smooth operation.

The Solution

With the help of rule-sets/manuals supplied by the client, Comat gained knowledge of the rules for processing different types of forms. The client transfers the scanned images of the claims in paper form. The operators then referring to the manuals, process the claims. Within a short time interval we were able to process claims at higher rates and accurately. EDMS, an indigenously developed document management system was used for claims that needed to be stored, retrieved and archived. EDMS helps storage and retrieval of these large volumes of paper and data that require access by several internal and external sources, while adhering to HIPAA regulations. With defined production processes, Comat was able to process the claims and deliver them within the scheduled Turn-Around-Time. Faster digitization & processing was achieved with a help of another indigenously developed application, which allowed the coders to digitize necessary data while looking at the scanned images. Over a period of time, we learnt the processing of different types of claims.

This along with several techniques and multiple level quality checkpoints as part of the process ensured consistent and high quality output.
