If you are reading this page, then
you already know why direct electronic claims are far superior to
paper claims, and why it makes dollars and sense to use direct electronic
claims instead of that old clearinghouse, but maybe you are wondering
how the Validator compares to other direct electronic claims solutions
offered…
The Validator was specifically designed for
AltaPoint
BEWARE of the program
that claims it can work with any "Print Image HCFA" software!
The new HIPAA compliant ANSI format has over 800 possible fields in
a single claim. Over 200 of those fields are Mandatory for every SINGLE
claim. The truth is, you simply CANNOT GET ALL OF THE INFORMATION
REQUIRED by this new format off of a HCFA form. Any company that claims
it can do this is guessing to fill in the missing information. Do
you really want software guessing what you want in these fields?
The Validator has been specifically designed to work with the AltaPoint
system, and when there is missing information, we not only tell you
and let you fix it on the fly, but we tell you WHERE IN AltaPoint
to fix the missing information, and in most cases, can even fix it
in your AltaPoint practice.
The Validator integrates
directly with your AltaPoint Data files
When Stephens & Associates sat
down to create the Validator AP program, we broke the mold! The Validator
AP program interfaces directly to your AltaPoint data files in order
to offer perfect integration! This means that you don’t have
to “print” claims from AltaPoint before using the Validator
to process a batch. The Validator will automatically pull the appropriate
claims directly from your AltaPoint practice, and this perfect integration
also allows us to fix problems on the fly, both in the claim file,
as well as in the data files!
The Validator has
a record of proven reliability
Our clients have been using our Validator Direct
Electronic Claims program to get paid electronically and cutting out
the middleman for over 10 years! Our newest version of the Validator
is a culmination of 4 years of listening to our clients suggestions
for improvement, and our observations on how to reduce the hassle.
Why be someone else's guinea pig when you can get a finished product
from us that you KNOW is going to work for you.
The Validator is competitively priced!
Our competitors have priced themselves
so high because they would rather you use a clearinghouse. The awful
truth is, many resellers and even NDC Health themselves are motivated
by profit, not by what is best for you, their clients. The clearinghouses
offer them residual payments on the money they are taking from you
to submit claims electronically. At Stephens & Associates, our
clients do not believe in paying per claim or monthly fees just to
get paid on money that's due to them anyway. All we charge for is
for the software in order to offset our programming and support costs!
Many of these other direct claims solutions are either too pricey
($699 PER CARRIER or more), or are designed so poorly that they set
you up for failure.
The Validator has integrated communications
capabilities
Unlike many of our competitors, the Validator actually
utilizes a built in communications program to help you to transmit
your claims to the carrier. This allows DIRECT claims submission to
many of our supported carriers at the touch of a single button! No
more remembering login ID's and passwords or having to purchase third-party
software just to transmit your claims to the carrier!
The Validator is capable of sending claims
to ANY HIPAA compliant carrier
With other direct electronic claims
solutions, you must wait around until the vendor creates a “module”
for your carrier. The Validator Gold edition has the built in capability
to add any carrier on the fly. In less than 10 minutes of setup you
can be submitting claim files to any HIPAA compliant carrier!
The Validator has Already Passed Testing for
carriers in over 23 states
Unlike many of our competitors, who
are just now starting to switch to the HIPAA compliant ANSI format,
the Validator has been certified compliant since 2001, and is now
an approved vendor in over 23 states. More carriers are being added
all the time! As more people realize how easy it is to use our Validator
Gold edition to submit to any HIPAA compliant carrier, the number
of carriers we have tested and passed with is skyrocketing.
