ADDISON, Texas, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Concentra Inc., the nation’s leading healthcare company and comprehensive outsource solution for containing healthcare and disability costs, announces a new suite of information tools to produce high quality workers’ compensation claims outcomes, while increasing efficiencies and reducing administrative costs.
Concentra Accelerated Productivity Suite is a new and proprietary software resource that provides claims adjustors with an on-line tool for easy entry of claims referrals, 24-hour access to the status of service requests, and access to all claims documentation including provider bills and status reports.
“Concentra Accelerated Productivity Suite will set a new standard for ease in claims processing with the added benefit of increased efficiency and accuracy,” said Andy Daniels, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Concentra Inc.
“We listened to our clients and are delivering on their need for an application allowing adjustors access to more timely and comprehensive information from which they can make better decisions and produce better claims outcomes,” Daniels said.
Workers’ compensation adjustors and major employers can also electronically review and approve bills submitted by providers prior to sending them for bill review services, where previously the ability to perform this function did not exist. Concentra performs scanning/OCR before the adjuster sees the bill rather than the paper bill being routed through the claims organization first. Once approved for review, bill data is transferred automatically to bill review software where Concentra begins the review.
