Administrative management organizations such as TPAs, IPAs, PHOs and MSOs that run their organizations on EZ-CAP stand to benefit from the system’s proven claims administration and payment abilities, combined with Goodale Systems’ IDM functionality that automates the delivery of health benefits communications via the web, fax, email, file or print.
OAOHS expects EZ-CAP clients to achieve cost savings through a reduction in manually generated correspondence, as well as streamlined tracking and retrieval procedures.
* With full correspondence production, tracking and distribution, EZ-CAP clients are able to utilize IDM’s nimble features for importing and delivering corporate data while providing a complete audit trail of documents sent. * By automating member services workflow, the IDM functionality also offers EZ-CAP users the ability to advance health benefits delivery with improved response time for inquiries while significantly reducing manual processes.
“Combining EZ-CAP with Goodale Systems’ IDM products provides cost- conscious, stable functionality that makes great business sense,” said OAOHS President Zan Calhoun. “Our EZ-CAP clients will benefit from the significant return on investment, as well as increased levels of member satisfaction due to better, more timely information delivery.”
OAOHS’ EZ-CAP health benefits information system enables administrative management organizations to improve overall performance by increasing medical claim auto-adjudication rates, managing health benefits and improving member satisfaction. Goodale Systems’ IDM integrates with EZ-CAP, speeding the correspondence process and making it less burdensome to users, more responsive to providers and members. Both solutions are built on the Microsoft(R) SQL Server platform for stability and ease-of-use.
“Joining Goodale Systems’ IDM products with EZ-CAP takes one of the most time-consuming tasks for IT departments and solidifies communication distribution needs into one simple interface,” said Aaron Goodale, President of Goodale Systems, Inc. “The partnership with OAOHS allows us to modernize healthcare clients’ access to immediate workflow improvements, document retrieval automation, and cost savings.”
