WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Jan. 15, 2008 – After a successful installation, HCIM’s SymKey® for EZ-CAP® Professional Claims module went into production at CareMore Medical Enterprises today. CareMore signed a three-year licensing agreement with HCIM for the SymKey® automated claims processing system on November 30, 2007.
CareMore representatives first experienced a SymKey demonstration at the EZ-CAP UCON conference in October 2007.
“After we evaluated the functionality, we thought SymKey would improve our claims processing because of its tight integration and automation capabilities,” said Chuck Weber, CareMore’s Senior Vice President of Operations.
CareMore believes that HCIM’s innovative solutions will give them an edge in the increasingly competitive healthcare industry.
“We foresee a 10 to 20% reduction in the cost of processing a claim, because when SymKey automates our claims adjudication process, it takes the burden away from our full-time staff,” said Weber.
CareMore is excited about continuing to work with HCIM and has expressed an interest in being a testing partner when HCIM develops new products that will meet their needs and increase profits, such as the new SymKey® for EZ-CAP® Hospital Claims module that is currently under development by HCIM.
“I’m pleased to welcome CareMore as our newest client, and look forward to a long and successful relationship, as we continue to leverage technology and enhance their operations,” said Michael Wilson, President and CEO of HCIM.
