Many health insurance organizations
have increased their competitive efficiency by scanning
their paper-based claims and archiving the resulting images
for quick retrieval. But storing images is only half the
battle. The biggest productivity benefits and cost saving
come from automatically extracting data from the claim forms.
In the past, the complexity of HCFA 1500 and UB-92 forms
forced insurance companies to hand-key dozens of pieces
of data per form. Custom software has been available to
automatically recognize and extract this data, but at
a cost and complexity that was prohibitive for all but
the very top tier of insurance companies.
Now, Kofax offers a solution that provides unsurpassed
data recognition for insurance claims at a price that
any company can justify. Based on the world's most popular
capture platform, Ascent for Health Insurance offers a
truly scalable solution that can be deployed as a mid-volume
application, and easily grown to meet the needs of the
entire enterprise.
Powerful, Scalable, Customizable
Ascent for Health Insurance is built on the industry-leading
Ascent platform and powered by Neurascript INDICIUS to
deliver highly accurate data recognition and revolutionary
field- and form-level validation. The powerful data recognition
engine dramatically reduces the need for manual data entry,
and the innovative validation capabilities ensure the
accuracy and integrity of the data delivered to your claims
processing and content management system.
Ascent for Health Insurance takes advantage of CPT®
and ICD-9 databases to automatically detect and flag invalid
procedure and diagnostic codes. The system can use your
client databases or any others to validate patient and
doctor data, and can use the current USPS database to
authenticate facility and physician addresses. It can
also perform crosschecks on fields to further ensure accuracy.
The overall result is faster, more accurate claims processing.
The modular Ascent architecture gives you a single-platform
solution for capturing information from machine-printed
forms, hand-printed forms, unstructured documents, and
even electronic data streams, eliminating the cost and
effort of maintaining multiple capture systems and letting
you create a workflow that fits your business needs: Process
single- or multi-page claims, with or without attachments.
Create one document containing the claim form and all
attachments, or automatically separate them. Use fast
"key from image" for hand-printed and other
forms that cannot be automated, and use the same validations
as for the automated claims.
