Call Center and Service Hub to Add 75 Jobs, Anticipating Rapid
Growth
HARTFORD, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
SCIOinspire, Corp., a premier provider of health care
cost-management services, is pleased to announce the grand opening of
its national service delivery center in Pittsburgh today. The
state-of-the-art facility will serve as the primary United States call
center and service delivery hub for SCIOinspire's care management and
claims overpayment outreach programs, supporting the health care payer
industry with claims analysis, coordination of benefits (COB),
subrogation services, health risk assessments, predictive modeling,
data analytics, and fulfillment of educational materials for disease
and care management programs.
"We are delighted to continue to make Pittsburgh our home," says
Paul J. Gitnik, Founder of SOCRATES, INC., which was purchased by
SCIOinspire late last year. "This community has become renowned as a
pivotal health care center within the United States, with a strong,
educated workforce. We are confident that our location here will
provide us with ample opportunity for expansion, as well as the
resources we need to respond to and support that growth."
SCIOinspire acquired Pittsburgh-based SOCRATES, INC. in December
2007 and, at that time, invested in space for a new delivery center,
expanding the facility from 3,500 square feet to 11,500 square feet.
Within its first two years of operation, SCIOinspire anticipates
creating 75 new jobs at the delivery center, located at 111 Ryan
Court, thereby increasing staffing to 100. "We have an ongoing
commitment to Pittsburgh," affirms Siva Namasivayam, Chief Executive
Officer for SCIOinspire and a University of Pittsburgh, MSCS, 1988
alum. "We will be proud to invite our clients to visit and see for
themselves the high-quality of services our Pittsburgh staff offers."
Through the facility, SCIOinspire will assist health care payers
in recovering lost revenues - other party liabilities that were paid
in error, for instance - through claims analysis, COB and subrogation
services. The firm likewise provides clients with wholly outsourced or
co-sourced subrogation/reimbursement and COB services, as well as a
centralized, stand-alone software solution. MY SOCRATES(R) software
allows an in-house subrogation department to effectively streamline
and manage processes. The center will also support SCIOinspire's care
management services through health risk assessments, analytics and
fulfillment of patient educational materials.
"SCIOinspire will be adding new service lines that will be managed
from our delivery center here," notes Brendon Tucker, Chief Operating
Officer for U.S. Operations. "One of our primary objectives in the
upcoming months will be to recruit qualified staff to ensure we
deliver responsive, professional services to the payer community."
SCIOinspire will host an open house and cocktail reception from
4-6 p.m. today to celebrate the opening of the Pittsburgh delivery
center. Honored guests will include SCIOinspire clients, Allegheny
County and Congressional representatives.
"This is an exciting time for all of us," Gitnik notes. "There are
numerous opportunities for growth and, with the opening of the new
center, we are poised and ready for it to happen!"
