NASHVILLE, TN (August 20, 2008) –The Emdeon Reports Consolidation and Claim Status Message Standardization solution offers submitters/providers the ability to manage their business functions for all claims submitted through the Emdeon clearinghouse.  By implementing Standard Messaging Shared Service (SMSS) technology, Emdeon is able to standardize the reports and translate claim status messages into understandable claim status messaging that includes what steps the submitter/provider should take in order to resolve rejected claims. 

Benefits include:

• Standardized, easy-to-understand and actionable user-friendly reports
• Consistent format for reports regardless of claim type (e.g. commercial, government, professional, or institutional) makes them easier to read
• Easy to understand reasons for why a claim was rejected
• Provides actionable steps on how to resolve the rejected claim (Note: This feature is only available in Emdeon Vision for Claim Management and within the Error Message Lookup Tool in ON24/7.)
