COVENTRY WORKERS’ COMP SERVICES DELIVERS ELECTRONIC BILL CYCLE SOLUTION WITH SUPPORT OF eBILL PARTNER JOPARI

Franklin,TN – August 10, 2009 –Coventry Workers' Comp Services (CWCS), a division of Coventry Health Care, Inc., is continually working to ensure that their electronic bill cycle solution is a key contributor in the industry-wide conversion to standardized EDI transactions. Their solution, powered by Jopari Solutions, enables the exchange of electronic bills, attachments, electronic payments, status inquiries and remittance advices.

The electronic bill cycle solution was initially deployed to support payer compliance needs specifically in the state of Texas and more recently Minnesota. Payer expansion to accept eBills in new states is simple and requires no additional development. However, the speed, accuracy and lower expense associated with electronic transactions has proven to be a “win-win” for all parties involved. “CWCS developed this solution to support our clients’ compliance needs.” stated Francine Johnson, vice president product development, “We arepleased with the results to-date and are excited for our clients to take advantage of the benefits across their entire book of business.”

The CWCS capabilities are not limited to eBilling and attachments, but enable providers to receive payments and remittance advices electronically, which delivers cost and time savings for both the payers and providers. The robust web portal permits providers to view, download and print remittance advice and payment records and includes many upcoming enhancements include eligibility transactions. Jopari’s platform is configurable for payer-specific rules while applying jurisdictional guidelines and standardized ANSI X12 formats.“Flexibility is extremely important to our clients” Johnson shared, “Each payer has unique data requirements and Jopari has helped us balance flexibility with standardization.”

Once payers begin receiving transactions electronically they are quickly motivated to increase the volume regardless of jurisdictional requirements. “Given that CWCS offers one of the largest national networks, this end-to-end bill cycle solution is positioned to drive mass adoption of eBilling in the provider community.” stated J.R. “Steve” Stevens, Jopari CEO. “We believe CWCS is uniquely positioned to forever change the workers’ compensation medical billing process given the number of parties they bring together.”
