Client
Superbill is a San Francisco-based Medtech company helping healthcare providers manage insurance claims, medical billings & process reimbursements. They provide solutions for healthcare providers (clinics, hospitals) and individual clients.
Challenge
The SuperBill team approached us with the mission of optimizing insurance claims processing and passing the client's EHR data to SuperBill's medical billing system - SuperPay. Due to the lack of public API or easy integration options in many EHRs, it hasn't proven easy. Before the arrangement, most of these tasks were done manually.
The SuperBill team also wanted to leverage the patients' network of their healthcare providers and convert them into individual clients. From the providers' perspective, it's a win-win situation: patients get reimbursed for free, providers get paid the total rate, and the billing of their clients is taken care of.
A secondary goal was to automate several manual EHR-related operations.
Finally, the automated workflow had to be fully HIPAA-compliant and in line with all California and US regulations.
