CIGNA HealthCare Launches Post-N-Track Web-Based Solution
Offers Health Providers Faster, Simpler, HIPAA-Compliant Transaction Exchange
Bloomfield, CT -- September 14, 2004 -- CIGNA HealthCare has teamed with Post-N-Track Corporation to deliver faster and more secure claims submission and tracking for health care providers, billing entities and transaction aggregators through a new direct, universal, Web-based transaction solution that administers, monitors and controls transactions across diverse trading relationships.
The new direct service is offered at no cost to CIGNA HealthCare providers and other business partners, who currently submit some 70 million electronic claims annually.
Post-N-Track is managing the program, including: enrollment, software distribution and support. It allows health care providers and other business partners to submit or ‘post’ their claims to CIGNA directly and securely over the Internet and receive or ‘track’ processing results, such as receipt confirmations, acknowledgments, claims status and remittance notices directly back, without an intermediary.
“This new solution will make it easier and quicker to do business with CIGNA HealthCare,”
said Scott Storrer, Senior Vice President of CIGNA HealthCare. “CIGNA HealthCare’s providers benefit with cost efficiencies and organizational effectiveness along with the ability to use and maintain their existing processes and systems. For example, they can maintain claims transaction processes with other insurance payors along with any current clearinghouse relationships."
"We are proud to serve CIGNA HealthCare as a technology partner,” said G. Allen DeGraw, Founder and CEO of Post-N-Track. “CIGNA is leading the industry by working diligently
and aggressively toward the HIPAA mandates for administrative simplification. They’ve taken HIPAA very seriously and are out in front of the market.”
“We recognize that health plans, providers, and other participants have sizeable investments in systems and processes to manage the delivery of care,” said DeGraw. “Therefore, rather than have technology dictate changes or new investments, participants can address needs, anticipate market demands, respond to market trends and streamline administrative processes – all
without additional IT expenditures.”
