Access Innovations Announces New Initiative: Access Integrity, Inc.
Access Innovations, Inc. is bringing its patented and trademarked technology to the medical compliance arena with the launch of its newest business endeavor: Access Integrity, Inc.“Utilizing Access Innovations’ Data Harmony software suite, Access Integrity employs a natural-language, rule-based taxonomy application—Medical Claims Compliance—to search, analyze, and verify electronic medical records (EMRs), procedure notes, and submission forms simultaneously to improve billing compliance, identify discrepancies for over and under billing, and speed the submission and reimbursement process with fewer errors and rejections,” said Marjorie M.K. Hlava, president of Access Innovations and co-founder of Access Integrity. Medical transaction integrity is one of the most important challenges facing healthcare professionals today. Errors can mean audits, lost revenue, and legal penalties. As technology and new legislation continue to change healthcare, Access Integrity is committed to providing technology solutions to help navigate today's healthcare environment. John Kuranz, CEO and co-founder of Access Integrity, says applying cutting-edge data management technology to the healthcare industry will revolutionize and revitalize the processing of medical transactions. Access Integrity, Inc. provides patented technology for complete and compliant EMR analysis. From diagnoses to coding to claims submission, Medical Claims Compliance plays an important role in medical transaction processing by extracting concepts from a patient's EMR using rule-based datasets—increasing coding accuracy and improving clinical decision support and overall understanding of a patient encounter. The application suggests appropriate ICD-9 and CPT codes and supplies providers with a claim discrepancy analysis, allowing corrections to be made prior to submission. By increasing medical claims acceptance rates and boosting coders' efficiency, providers generate more cash flow for their businesses. Source: Access Innovations, Inc.
