NU Online News Service, Mar. 8, 12:45 p.m. – MedUnite Inc., San Diego, a health data communications consortium, says it has now started introducing an “ATM-inspired” health data communications system in Connecticut.
Health carriers that cover 70% of Connecticut’s commercially insured lives can now take medical claims and handle other types of transactions, such as verifying benefits, checking claims status and making referrals, through MedUnite’s Web-based communications system, the consortium says.
MedUnite hopes to add claims editing and reporting functions, electronic remittance advice and electronic funds transfer in the future, the consortium says.
