New York State Health Insurance Provider Will Leverage Edifecs ICD-10 Solution to Mitigate Risks and Manage the Code Transition
Bellevue, Wash. (PRWEB) February 13, 2012
Today, Edifecs, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare software solutions specializing in regulatory compliance tools for health plans and healthcare organizations, announced that EmblemHealth has chosen the company as its strategic technology partner for ICD-10.
The Edifecs ICD-10 solution helps health plans achieve financial neutrality by understanding and mitigating risks at each stage of the ICD-10 transition. This is accomplished by enabling health plans to leverage and analyze their own historic data in order to prioritize remediation and testing efforts.
"Edifecs' unique code management capabilities played a large role in our selection process," said Dr. William A. Gillespie, Chief Medical Officer at EmblemHealth. "We haven't seen other solutions break ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding systems down into medical concepts like this. Being able to use this information to accurately review and select codes for remediation through the transition is invaluable."
