Navicure Check-InTM enables physician practices to conduct real-time eligibility
and more through a user-friendly, all-payer kiosk solution
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Navicure, a leading Internet-based medical claims clearinghouse for physician
practices, today announced the availability of its self-service patient kiosk
solution, Navicure Check-In. Navicure partnered with Clearwave to offer the
solution, which can operate as a stand-alone platform or be integrated with any
practice management or health information system. Through the use of Navicure
Check-In, physician practices can streamline the patient check-in process,
including verifying patient insurance eligibility in real-time; providing
immediate and accurate amounts for each patient`s co-pay, co-insurance and
deductible; and collecting co-pays through the kiosk at the time of service. 

"Navicure Check-In addresses the growing patient demand for efficient and
accurate check-in, while also helping physician practices improve cash flow and
staff productivity," said Jim Denny, CEO of Navicure. "This solution is a key
part of our mission to improve accounts receivables for our clients." 

Navicure`s existing Web-based account receivables management solutions enable
practices to automate receivables processes, including patient eligibility
verification; primary and secondary claims reimbursement; rejected and denied
claims management; electronic remittance posting; claims and remittance
reporting and analysis; and patient statement processing. Navicure Check-In
builds on this core offering by improving the eligibility verification process
for both the patient and practice, along with offering co-payment processing for
the first time. 

Physician practices can realize the following benefits through the use of
Navicure Check-In:

* Efficiency: decreased administrative costs; less check-in time for both staff
and patient; greater accuracy of data input. 
* Real-time insurance eligibility verification: all-payer eligibility
verification in one portal. 
* Security: HIPAA compliant due to encrypted data transmission.

"We are excited to partner with a forward-thinking company like Navicure," said
Gerard White, CEO of Clearwave. "Practices spend too much time reviewing and
correcting insurance information, which can ultimately result in lost revenue
and time. This solution ensures that information is collected correctly upfront
with the goal of reducing time and staff needed for check-in, as well as revenue
delay and loss from inaccurate claims on the back-end."
