National Electronic Attachment, Inc. (NEA) announced today that they have signed an Agreement with Employer Plan Services, Inc, of Houston, TX. The agreement will allow Employer Plan Services to accept dental and medical attachments for electronically submitted claims. The attachments will be transmitted to NEA’s web site from dental and medical providers, using NEA’s i>FastAttach™ system. FastAttach™ enables healthcare offices to transmit dental and medical attachments (x-rays, perio charts, intra-oral pictures, narratives, EKGs, lab reports, certificates of medical necessity and EOB’s), via the Internet, to NEA’s repository where Employer Plan Services is able to view them in support of the electronic claim adjudication process. For provider offices, FastAttach™ accelerates claim processing and eliminates the need and cost to duplicate and mail x-rays and other necessary attachments.
“We are very excited about offering this new technology to providers, especially to our participating dentists across the country. This is another way EPSI is working to reduce administrative complexity and costs for our dentists and clients,” said, Lyndon Smith, President and CEO, Employer Plan Services, Inc. “This is a “win-win’ enhancement for both EPSI and our providers. We anticipate this arrangement will increase EPSI’s electronic claim volume, reduce costs, and increase claim accuracy and turnaround time. The providers benefit through streamlined claim submission processing, detailed submission documentation and reductions in their administrative costs. “
“We are very glad that EPSI chose NEA as their vendor for electronic attachments and we look forward to the opportunity to register their providers,” stated Thomas Hughes, CEO of NEA.
Employer Plan Services, Inc. is a Texas corporation primarily engaged in employee benefit plan administration services. It operates as a Third Party Administrator for self-insured and fully-insured health and welfare benefit groups for entities based throughout the United States.
NEA, the leader in Internet based solutions for the healthcare industry, offers systems designed to make the process of insurance submissions and processing as easy as possible for the Patient, the Provider Office and the Insurance Payor.
