HIPAA Compliance Services
HIPAA compliance regulations are upon us as medical practices must begin to put processes and procedures into place. eMag Solutions has worked with some of the nation's leading healthcare providers, and we are ready to help providers face this tremendous business continuity dilemma for tape management, disaster recovery and security. And in many cases, eMag can provide services that will help your company reduce costs of already established HIPAA compliance practices that you have put in place.
How eMag is helping healthcare providers comply with HIPAA
One of the nation's largest health benefits companies committed to streamlining their claims and billings area along with making information exchange to its members as easy as possible.
PROBLEM: The company used a third-party service bureau to convert its mainframe claims data (residing on tape cartridge media) to open system formats on CD-R. Using the third party, the process took at least 10 days to move the data into the hands of the health care provider at a cost to the company at a rate of seven figures per year.
ACTION: The company, concerned with no control and meeting HIPAA regulations, wanted to pull the conversion process in house. eMag was able to provide a solution that would allow the health benefits company to have an in-house, automated format conversion, grouping of data, and printing to CDR answer. Using our MediaMerge/PC conversion software and the expertise of our programming staff, we were able to write handlers that took the conversion, grouping of data, and printing of CDR to a totally automated process. This simple, reliable, controllable process produced a much more professional end product and cut turn around time in half.
ROI: By bringing the eMag solution in-house, the company would save close to $3 million within the first three years of the project. Thus the complete system would pay for itself within the first 3 months of ownership.
