NU Online News Service, Aug. 6, 2003, 11:41 a.m. EDT – Coalition America Inc., Atlanta, has introduced an XML-based system for receiving, repricing and transmitting medical claim information.
Coalition America already has another system for handling medical claims transmissions that is based on older electronic data interchange interface technology.
The new XML-based system is much more flexible than the EDI system, and doctors, clinics and other customers can use the XML system to transmit claims one at a time, while patients are in the office, rather than waiting to transmit large batches of claims, Coalition America says.
