Kofax Launches Medical Claims Processing Update

Solution Supports CMS Regulations Related to the Affordable Healthcare Act Taking Effect in January 2014

Kofax Limited, a leading provider of smart process applications for the business critical First Mile of customer interactions, recently announced release 2.6 of its Kofax Medical Claims Add-on Pack to support Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regulations related to the Affordable Care Act taking effect in January 2014. The solution turns complex electronic and paper based CMS medical claim forms into accurate, actionable information in a timely and cost effective manner.

Kofax Medical Claims Add-on Pack runs on systems utilizing Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules as a pre-configured solution, which substantially reduces the time and effort required to research, design, configure and deploy an automated medical claims processing application. It provides a wide range of cost- and time-saving features, including pre-configured support for the latest CMS 1500 and UB04 claims forms, ICD-9 and ICD-10 code databases and the HIPAA-compliant 5010 electronic data interchange (EDI) export format specified by CMS. It also conforms to the coding rules and standards defined by CMS and features documentation and instructions for customizing systems to meet user specific needs.

“Kofax Medical Claims Add-on Pack is a timely upgrade for existing users and perfect for insurance providers who need to replace an existing solution that is no longer CMS compliant or maintained by the original supplier. It helps reduce data entry errors and lower operating costs in time to address new CMS regulations related to the Affordable Care Act, which will take effect in January 2014,”said Grant Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer of Kofax.“It also enables users to gain operational insights that may not exist today by increasing the visibility of medical claims information throughout the organization.”
