Texas Health Resources Agrees to Beta Installation of NDC Medicare
Direct Entry - New NDC ePREMIS Module Delivers Streamlined Hospital
Medicare Claims Processing ATLANTA, May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- NDCHealth Corporation (NYSE:NDC), a leading provider of
healthcare technology and information solutions, today announced
Texas Health Resources (THR), a nonprofit healthcare delivery
system, as the beta site for the new NDC ePREMIS(R) Claims
Management module, NDC(R) Medicare Direct Entry, a flexible, single
"all payer" solution designed to streamline Medicare Part A claims
processing. NDC Medicare Direct Entry further enhances the revenue
cycle benefits of NDC ePREMIS(R) by offering users a flexible,
integrated solution to generate, manage and archive consolidated
reports for both government and third-party commercial claims. The
module enables the creation of Medicare claims direct from the
patient accounting system. Claims are then processed and edited
through ePREMIS Claims Management, and then submitted real time to
the Medicare online system via Medicare Direct Data Entry, or batch
submitted via the NDCHealth Intelligent Network. Whether users opt
to route Medicare claims directly, or through the NDCHealth
Intelligent Network, NDC Medicare Direct Entry will continue to
capture and archive claims data. Jerry Bossbach, third-party
billing director at THR's Presbyterian Healthcare System, said
NDCHealth's proven success in managing commercial third-party
claims, plus the obvious advantages presented by managing
commercial and government claims through a single solution were key
factors in their decision. "We are very pleased to be a part of the
beta testing for this new solution. It presents a significant
opportunity for us to improve a critical component of our revenue
stream," said Bossbach. "I look forward to a successful
implementation and to achieving results similar to what we realized
with ePREMIS in terms of cash flow improvement and staff
efficiency." Walter Hoff, chairman and chief executive officer,
NDCHealth, said, "NDC Medicare Direct Entry is a great testament to
our company's ongoing commitment to offer technology automation
that improves the healthcare delivery system. Medicare claims often
are 30 percent or more of a hospital's claim volume. The integrated
Medicare claims processing functionality we're offering should
create further improvement to our customers' revenue and cash flow
by speeding Medicare reimbursement turnaround and reducing staff
time. We are gratified by THR's decision to partner with us, and
look forward to our solution delivering a positive impact to their
workflow and bottom line." NDCHealth expects to complete beta
testing of NDC Medicare Direct Entry within the next few months.
The company plans to have the module ready for general availability
in late summer 2005. About Texas Health Resources Texas Health
