Emerging Health Information Technology Launches HIPAA Solution

Emerging Health Information Technology, a provider of healthcare professional services and IT-based solutions, announced the availability of a new suite of HIPAA transaction management services, providing enhanced visibility and greater control over the entire claim processing life cycle from intake and adjudication to tracking, payment and reporting.

The new Transaction Exchange and Knowledge-based Services (TREKS) help healthcare organizations lower their operating costs, reduce accounts receivable, improve cash flow and enhance the efficiency of front and back office billing operations. Emerging Health is one the first group of service providers to receive CAQH CORE Phase 1 Certification for adhering to the set of industry guidelines that streamline eligibility verification and promote health plan-provider interoperability.

"We’re very excited to offer these new services to our clients and to be working with leading healthcare organizations to help optimize their revenue cycle," said Jack Wolf, president and chief executive officer, Emerging Health. "By helping increase first pass rates, decrease denials and lower A/R days, we can turn these potential profit pitfalls into realized revenue."

The TREKS services suite combines Emerging Health’s software applications and tailored consulting services to meet the specific claims management needs of each individual client. The suite of services works in conjunction with a client’s existing computer platform and financial billing systems and is a hosted single source solution that meets all HIPPA regulatory requirements.

A key component of the TREKS service is TREKS Verify, a solution that allows clients to achieve real-time or batch processing of HIPAA compliant eligibility and benefit inquiry (270) transactions and receive response (271) transactions. TREKS Verify minimizes the risk of claims rejection and ensures appropriate reimbursement.
