Enrollment
Member status and eligibility verification are entered into the system to begin the enrollment and service process. Eligibility for one or more payor sources are verified and entered into the system either via automated loads or manual data entry.

Screening
Member requests/needs are assessed and evaluated during the screening process to determine the appropriate level of care. The user has the ability to create their own assessments using the RADplus tool set.

Service Authorization
Authorizations are linked to Benefits or Contracted Services in the Contract function. Authorizations are referenced for claims adjudication/review, calculated in accumulators for IBNR, and reporting on utilization and profitability.

    member services

Case Management
This function allows the user to perform case management on an individual member to determine continued level of care required, document notes, and monitor review dates. Authorization extensions are also performed in conjunction with transitions of level of care.

Claims Processing
Claims data is received from the provider via electronic file, log data, or paper claims, and are input into the system for validation and adjudication of service data against authorization data. A payment recommendation is made by the system for review and approval. Once a batch has been created, a file is generated to be sent to a GL/AP system for checks production and payment processing. Explanations of Benefits (EOBs) are also generated to accompany the payment to the provider.
