Frequently Asked Questions

Q: We have some unique edits. How will you handle them?

A: You have access to unlimited customized edits for no additional fee. These are called Bridge Routines and are set up during implementation. We also provide classes and training from our Advisory Services group to teach you how to build  your own custom edits. Historically, experience has shown that many customizations needed in legacy claim systems are no longer needed in Assurance. 

Q: Will Assurance integrate with Cerner/Epic?

A: Assurance can be installed with any HIS. You can submit an 837 or proprietary files to process through Assurance to scrub/clean and release to our clearinghouse. Information can be passed back to the HIS. It is up to your organization to determine which information is posted back to the host or any other downstream systems.
