HIPAA
Subsystem
The
ever evolving world of health care claims and benefits processing
has come under stronger and more specific federal regulations
in recent years. To comply with these regulations while at the
same time providing our customers with an "easy" way

Subsystem that is integrated into the core FACTS
system. The key electronic transactions that our HIPAA
Subsystem assists in the processing of are identified
below:

Professional and Institutional claims

eREMIT
(Electronic Remittance)
The
process of sending monthly remittance information from employers
to fund offices and third-party administrators is still largely
a manual one. Employers usually create a "hardcopy"
report of hours and wages that is sent, via the postal service,
to the fund office. At the fund office, an administrator then
enters the hours and wages into the FACTS
system.
We have
developed an electronic process, called eREMIT,
that allows the employer to enter hours and wages into a database
and then "send" the data electronically to the fund
office. The fund office administrator simply "retrieves"
the employer data and "imports" it into the FACTS
system.
The eREMIT
system offers the following benefits over the existing manually
intensive process:
-
Single point of data entry - entered once and done, no need
for fund office to re-enter data
-
Eliminates
rounding errors by using standardized calculations
-
Provides
a standardized interface to employers and the fund office
-
Provides
updated employee, contract and rate information
-
Reduces
"in process" time - remittance data is "sent"
and available in seconds or minutes compared to days or weeks
-
Eliminates
the cost of "sending" remittance data via the postal
service
-
Reduces
paper costs at the fund office ("list" and "no
list" template reports no longer necessary)
