Some of the benefits of the EDI 837 processor are:
-
A reduction in the time and cost of printing, filing, searching and retrieving documents. This increased efficiency frees employees to work on higher-value activities.
-
Processing time is faster and indexing is more reliable than scanning and/or manually keying data. Paper documents can take days, or even weeks, to separate, file and index properly. Even EDI data files can take hours to manually separate; the EDI 837 processor automates this process and reduces to it a matter of minutes.
-
Customer inquiries can be more quickly addressed, leading to higher customer satisfaction.
-
Increased security and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance.
-
Completely paperless processing and automated document indexing eliminates shipping costs and reduces, if not eliminates, the opportunity for lost or misplaced documents.
