HealthEdge®, provider of the only integrated financial, administrative and clinical platform for healthcare payors, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with AXIOM Systems, Inc. (AXIOM) that will allow it to embed AXIOM's TransSend application in the new HealthRules EDI Gateway. The new offering will enable health insurance companies to meet all of their HIPAA transaction requirements with a pre-configured application that will deliver faster implementations, lower integration costs and decreased time to market. Leveraging this new offering, payors will also enjoy reduced overall administrative costs and increased trading partner satisfaction.
"We are excited that this partnership will enable HealthEdge clients to have greater access to a tightly integrated and proven application suite that reduces complexity and implementation costs while streamlining operational processes," noted Richard Howe, CEO of AXIOM.
AXIOM brings an extensive knowledge of the business of healthcare and a detailed understanding of EDI messaging and data transformation. The company also has a strong and loyal installed base that includes some of the largest payors in the country. TransSend is currently used to process over 30 million claim transactions per year.
"Our partnership with AXIOM is yet another example of how HealthEdge leverages cutting-edge technology to dramatically reduce the time and cost of implementation," said Rob Gillette, CEO of HealthEdge. "Given AXIOM's deep EDI and HIPAA transaction expertise, and their market-leading software, we believe that this partnership provides an exciting new, best-in-class offering for HealthEdge customers."
The HealthRules EDI Gateway provides HealthEdge customers the ability to support all HIPAA transactions. It manages all front end processes including trading partner setup, customizable compliance checking and business validation, transaction audits, error reporting and many other functions. Also Included in the HealthRules EDI Gateway is TransSend's Encounter process module, which assists health plans providing Medicare Advantage and Medicaid products with the submission and reconciliation of encounters to Medicare (CMS) and state agencies.
