National Electronic Attachment today announced that the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) has chosen NEA to be an APPROVED PARTNER for its members. NEA’s FastAttach™ system is utilized for the transmission of healthcare electronic attachments. FastAttach™ enables healthcare offices to transmit healthcare attachments (x-rays, perio charts, intra-oral pictures, narratives and EOB’s), via the Internet, to NEA’s repository where Payors are able to view them, in support of electronic claims. For Oral Surgery offices, FastAttach™ accelerates claim acceptance, processing and eliminates the need to duplicate and mail x-rays. Oral Surgeons will be the first group to file both dental and medical electronic attachments.
“It has been a pleasure working with the staff at AAOMS and we look forward to registering their members to send their attachments electronically,” states Tom Hughes, CEO of NEA. “We know that all healthcare offices should be sending their claims and attachments electronically and commend the AAOMS leadership for educating their members in this direction”.
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 Healthcare Office and the Insurance Payor. NEA’s program also allows for secure communications between specialists and general dentists or other specialists, meeting HIPAA requirements for patient treatment. NEA is the leader in the Dental and Medical (both Professional and Institutional) attachments marketplace.
The AAOMS, the professional organization representing more than 7,000 oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the United States, supports its members’ ability to practice their specialty through education, research and advocacy. AAOMS members comply with rigorous continuing education requirements and submit to periodic office examinations, ensuring the public that all office procedures and personnel meet stringent national standards. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.
