MED3000 ADDS DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT TO TWELFTH LOCATION
Goes Paperless to Enhance Claims Processing

MED3000, one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare management and technology services, has recently installed Freedom's document management solution RICAR (Record Image Capture and Retrieval) in its twelfth location in Oxnard, California.

MED3000 Oxnard is a Third Party Administrator (TPA) and a significant part of California's managed care industry. The claims processing department of MED3000 Oxnard has the expertise and familiarity to process many different claim types from beginning to end. Processing thousands of claims a day, Oxnard has proven to be a force in the healthcare community.

Like 11 previous MED3000 locations, Oxnard has begun the paradigm shift of going paperless by implementing Freedom's digital workflow. Freedom's RICAR software gives the claims department greater control and processing efficiency of their documents.

Before the recent installment of document management, Oxnard employees had the manual process of sorting, hand stamping, counting and distributing claims down to a science. As efficiently as they worked, there was a definite opportunity in this process for improvement and enhancement. MED3000 found a solution in Freedom's RICAR suite. With the implementation of RICAR, claims are immediately scanned once the mail is received. The high-production, super intelligent Kodak Ngenuity 9090-DB scanner automatically imprints each document with a date stamp. Gone are the sounds of the mechanical hand stamper throughout the office as employees physically stamped each claim with a date. After scanning, employees digitally staple corresponding pages of a batch, and finish by electronically sorting claims to the proper divisions within the claims department.

MED3000 vastly enhances their business collaboration through workflow by creating electronic channels which allow users to process digital versions of claims. Each claim has a complete audit trail, creating the ability to audit all claims easily and quickly without the burden of paper. The physical counting of paper to produce reports disappears due to the utilization of document capture software. Meeting service level agreements SLAs) has never been easier. RICAR scans or imports documents and conveniently presents them to users on a computer screen, allowing for heads up data entry. Technology does the dirty work, enabling MED3000 employees to be more efficient. This Freedom solution creates a management process that is ideal, allowing employees to move documents and files all with a click of a button.

With the installation of RICAR, Oxnard users attain a greater processing efficiency while managers attain constant, real time control of their documents.
