Improving communications between providers and payers

Effective communication between providers and payers in the delivery of mental health services is critical to ensuring the efficient provision of quality care and timely, accurate reimbursements.

Netsmart ProviderConnect™ is a secure, Web-based solution that eliminates the need to fax or mail information back and forth between providers and payers. By simply logging onto
a Web site, providers and payers can effectively exchange the following types of data on an ongoing basis:

• State reporting information
• Demographic updates
• Admissions
• Financial information

ProviderConnect is tightly integrated with Netsmart’s Avatar MSO to enable seamless data exchange with providers and eliminate the errors often associated with rekeying information. ProviderConnect utilizes Web services technology to ensure the secure transmission of data. By using ProviderConnect with Avatar MSO, payers can begin to immediately realize the benefits of improved communications with providers.

Benefits

• Faster transfer of information
• Elimination of the inaccuracies associated with rekeying data
• More accurate information exchange

ProviderConnect is hosted in the Netsmart data center, eliminating the need for providers or payers to purchase and maintain their own hardware and provide their own hosting facilities. Netsmart’s data center is a secure, highly reliable
facility that ensures your solution is available when you need it, without the upfront costs and ongoing worries
