As healthcare providers transition more toward posting insurance payments electronically from 835 electronic remittance advice (ERA) files, certain challenges can arise when moving away from processing paper-based Explanation of Benefit (EOB) forms. This is mostly because ERAs have no human-readable documentation available for information systems which rely heavily on electronic images of paper. The Optiform 835XL™ processing utility solves this problem by automatically generating easy to read electronic images and associated index data from any insurance payer’s 835 electronic remittance advice.
Optiform 835XL™
Using this powerful utility, healthcare billing offices can now gain greater efficiencies by accessing patient-specific remittance advice information from a single point of view. The 835XL™ processing utility provides remarkably detailed reporting and allows healthcare providers to take advantage of the following benefits:
The Optiform 835XL™ processing utility is built on top of a configurable, high-speed, image generator that is optimized for speed, as well as image size and quality. It runs as an unattended service and monitors an input folder for incoming 835 ERA files. Images with index data are then generated according to one or more job configurations and moved to designated output folders.
Each job configuration allows the following customizations:
A service utility module is available to control which network folder will be polled for incoming images and where processed 835 files will be archived for preservation. It also allows configuration of a network folder for files that fail to process along with error log files, as well as email settings to send error alerts to an administrator. And, a task scheduler that controls when the 835XL™ processing utility runs to optimize bandwidth and server resources.
