Without Automation, Keeping up with Changing Billing Rules was a Struggle
As payer rules and billing codes change rapidly, Halifax needed greater visibility into its claims management process to prevent payment delays, denials, and rework.
“To stay right in step with the insurance companies, we have to be proactive. We create edits to make sure that the claims go out correctly according to the way the insurance wants to be billed the first time.”
