Payers are at the center of healthcare. Every day they handle records and claims from thousands of care providers, ranging from community-based physicians’ offices and freestanding emergency departments to large hospitals and full-service medical centers. At the same time, payers navigate the complexities of state and federal agency deadlines, mandates and reporting requirements.
That diverse group of stakeholders has one common desire: A simple, and speedy, information transfer. Achieving that essential outcome means properly leveraging a core technology in use by 100% of payers: fax.
Whether it's paper transmissions or a digital process (or both), fax connects payer to provider across the healthcare spectrum. Faxes are sent and received all day, every day, and the volume is massive. Payers receive, on average, more than 500 faxes a day, usually more than 75 pages each. And almost a third to half of those are processed manually.*
With an outdated or inefficient fax system, that is a formula for bottlenecks, delays and dissatisfaction. A trustworthy solution is essential, as a recent study of payers made crystal clear:
“In less than 30 days we went from the Flintstones way of faxing to a Star Wars way of faxing. The deployment was very simple and easy and so was the administration. Our users are very excited to use Concord Fax. No longer do we have lost or incomplete faxes. All faxes are delivered right into our email client, giving us the choice to print them out or not, which saves us money on consumables like paper.”
