ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- (HIMSS Conference & Exhibition) -- Kryptiq Corp. announced today that it has released a contract management solution aimed at helping medical insurance payers better manage their contracts with medical care providers. Kryptiq Guardian Contract Manager(TM) is the first end-to-end, modular solution that is specifically designed to help insurance companies quickly and easily manage the requirements in any given contract to ensure timely payments to the medical providers at the agreed upon contracted rates. According to a recent American Medical Association study, on average, 25 percent of all health claims are rejected by the payer. Of the rejected claims, 43 percent are attributed to contractual inconsistencies. As soon as a claim falls out of auto adjudication, it must be processed manually, which dramatically increases overall costs. It is not uncommon for a mid-size insurance company to adjudicate a million procedure claims a month.
The primary benefits of the Kryptiq contract management solution include: 1. Reduced administration time -- Guardian Contract Manager reduces errors in billing procedures. This enables medical providers to get paid faster and payers to spend less claims time on processing rejected claims. 2. Enhanced profit/loss analysis -- With Guardian Contract Manager, payers and providers can easily analyze the profit or loss associated with any given contract and the overall performance over the term of the contract. 3. Reduced management time -- Guardian Contract Manager enables payers to streamline the preparation, distribution, and negotiation of contracts. Every data element of a contract (terms, clauses, rates, etc.) is stored discretely and can be flagged and tracked. 4. Secured communication & Web access -- Guardian Contract Manager incorporates secure email as the transport mechanism for contracts and other related communications. This solution integrates with back-end payer databases that control rates and reimbursements to others. All contract information is stored on a secure Web portal, enabling all users in an organization with access to the contract information when and where it is needed.
"Streamlining the healthcare process and reducing costs for both providers and payers are primary objectives at Kryptiq," said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq. "With the Guardian Contract Manager solution, we are taking great strides in helping payer organizations become advocates for the provider groups they work with on a daily basis. The Kryptiq solution enables our customers to utilize existing systems and improve the communications with their customers at all levels. It's another step forward in making the connected healthcare system a reality today."
