Online Services Provide Employers and Brokers Access to Extensive Claim
Information
TULSA, Okla.--(Business Wire)--
HealthSCOPE Benefits, one of the nation`s leading claims administration and
health management firms administering self-funded employee benefit plans,
recently implemented Data Analysis and Reporting from Benefit Informatics to
provide customers and brokers with comprehensive health plan information and to
augment its DataSCOPE product. 

The addition of Benefit Informatics web-based technology into HealthSCOPE
operations was coordinated through a relationship between Benefit Informatics
and Healthaxis, HealthSCOPE`s claim administration vendor. Through this direct
relationship with Healthaxis, Benefit Informatics receives regular health claim
data that provides HealthSCOPE and its self-funded clients access to the latest
health plan utilization information. 

"HealthSCOPE Benefits is one of the self-funded employee benefits industry`s
leading benefit administrators and a noted leader in technology and innovative
service," said Philip Kurtz, President and CEO of Benefit Informatics. "We are
very pleased to be their vendor of choice for data analysis and reporting
services. We look forward to assisting HealthSCOPE in their mission to provide
comprehensive health management services for their customers." 

HealthSCOPE claim administration and account management personnel will utilize
BI`s Data Analysis and Reporting capabilities, including claim activity, trends,
comparison to industry benchmarks and other functionality to analyze customer
health plans and provide regular reporting to customers and brokers via BI`s
online Connect service which allows users to electronically access analysis and
report output. 

"We selected Benefit Informatics for our online analysis and reporting partner
because of their unique combination of innovative products and deep
understanding of the industry," said Joe Edwards, CEO of HealthSCOPE Benefits.
"As a supplement to our DataSCOPE reporting capability, our customers and broker
partners will see great value in the additional level of claim analysis and
reporting services we are now able to offer through Benefit Informatics online
platform."
