Based on its larger Transform product, Dakota’s new system aims to increase medical insurance claims processing efficiencies for smaller firms.
Dakota Imaging announced a smaller
version of its Transform data capture and transaction processing system designed
for small and midsize medical insurance firms.
Called Transform EZ, the system lets
companies automate much of their claims processing tasks without having to make
an inordinate initial investment, the company said.
The product includes several features
previously available only with the larger, more expensive Transform product.
These include:
* A scanning site that allows the
intake of images from one or multiple scanners.
* Image processing to enhance image
readability, including noise removal, deskew and despeckling.
* Optical character recognition (OCR)
using Transform IQServer.
* Support for business rules using
Dakota?s Decision Server, plus inline rules at the point of verification.
* A verification site that performs
data clean-up and data entry.
* The automated creation of a standard
data and imaging index file.
* Automated data capture and processing
for the industry?s standard HCFA and UB-92 forms.
* Image-only workflow to scan,
auto-index and store images.
* A Transform Manager, which includes
operation reports, productivity reports, and system administration functions.
* The ability to maintain, create and
add new forms with the use of Design Studio.
Transform EZ runs on a Windows 2000
Server and requires 80GB or more of HDD and 1GB of RAM. As document processing
volumes scale, those requirements will likely increase, the company
said.
Available March 1, Transform EZ
uses volume-based pricing. On average, an organization that processes a
volume of 10,000 documents per day would pay approximately $250,000 for software
and $150,000 for services, the company said. For more information, visit Dakota
