ClaimsBridge® users have several choices for how to convert paper claims to EDI (electronic data interchange) format. PPOs and providers that are 100% paper-based can transition to EDI smoothly and benefit from the use of EDI immediately.
Mailroom Services
Maintaining mailroom services to handle high-volume paper claims is expensive. Paper claims require a great deal of time to open, sort, forward, and store. IHS provides mailroom services that dovetail with its EDI claims routing. This allows organizations that are 100% paper-based to transition to EDI smoothly and benefit from its use immediately.
Conversion to EDI Services
Paper claims may be converted to EDI using inexpensive off the shelf scanners. Both OCR (optical character recognition) and KFI (keyed from image) techniques are supported. No additional software is necessary. Accuracy can be enhanced by using our custom scrubbers. Delivered EDI can be in 837 format or custom format of your choice.
Scanning
Scanning can be performed on your site or in our mailroom.
