EK Health Services Inc. is a national workers’ compensation managed care organization, and is a major vendor of utilization and bill review services for California claims administrators.
EK Health just announced the launch of Billtelligent, a proprietary technology that it says is taking medical bill review in workers’ compensation to the next level. Billtelligent eliminates barriers for EK Health, empowering an independence the national managed care company had not previously realized.
Billtelligent leverages a unique cloud-based, modular design focused on efficient bill handling through innovative strategies, supported by nimble technology. The company says it promotes flexibility through intelligent routing, automation, auto-adjudication and the ability to customize workflows with incredible specificity (without cumbersome management requirements).
“We did not want to create another software for software’s sake,” said Eunhee Kim, EK Health’s Owner & CEO. “With Billtelligent, we have control at all levels and we can bring the change our industry deserves. We will be faster, flexible and more accurate. This gives us the ability to better optimize managed care strategies and improve quality of care for injured workers – which is our ultimate focus.”
EK Health says it is keeping with its promise to transform the workers’ compensation industry as an innovator dedicated to integrity, transparency, and customer-focused solutions.
“We have been asked many times to ‘demystify medical bill review’, due to the unnecessary complexities, exorbitant fees and undisclosed revenue sharing that exists today,” shared Zebrah L. Jahnke, VP of Business Development. “We knew offering transparency required full ownership of our processes and technology.”
“It was clear to me that we needed to be free from the constraints of leased software to fully realize our potential. With Billtelligent, we have direct access to PPOs, allowing us to create our own onboarding and custom network design,” Kerri Wilson, EK Health’s President & Chief Operating Officer explained.
