Chicago – November 8, 2010 – The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) recently reviewed the The SSI Group, Inc.'s (SSI) ClickON® Billing using the Peer Review Process. After undergoing the rigorous review, SSI's ClickON® Billing has been granted the “Peer Reviewed by HFMA” designation.
ClickON® Billing is a medical claims management solution that facilitates the electronic editing, validation and transmission of institiutional and professional claims. SSI provides edits at the HIPAA, payer and provider levels. The technology allows providers to edit claims using locally installed software or by an Application Service Provider (ASP). Claims can be submitted directly to payers or be routed through SSI's nationally recognized clearinghouse. SSI is the first organization to be certified as a CAQH/CORE vendor and clearinghouse. CLAREDI, EHNAC and SAS70 have also certified SSI's Data Center.
“We are excited to receive approval from the HFMA Peer Review process,” said Bobby Smith, President and CEO of The SSI Group, Inc. “This evaluation illustrates the success of SSI’s customers and SSI’s commitment to quality in its products and services. We look forward to supporting our customers through the upcoming regulatory changes by providing effective and efficient revenue cycle management solutions backed by superior service.”
The Peer Review Process validates the accuracy, effectiveness, quality and value of products and services that HFMA members are currently using. The goal of the review is to identify products and services that deliver organizational savings and performance improvement which enhance HFMA members’ day-to-day business interactions and careers.
“For years HFMA members have asked us to identify viable healthcare finance resources and to filter some of the noise in the market place,” says HFMA President and CEO Richard L. Clarke, FHFMA. “We see the new Peer Review Process as a powerful opportunity to do just that."
