To increase and accelerate reimbursement, providers are increasingly establishing electronic linkages with payers at all points in the patient accounting process where labor costs can be reduced and accuracy of information can be improved. The greatest advances are being seen in claim submission, as manual data entry of claims information is being replaced by electronic data interchange. Cleaner claims, faster payment, and reduced staff are just some of the results.
