Hospitals
Yesterday's billing companies do not work today.

Are you still packaging paper and sending it to your billing company by way of a half-truck?  Just as you do not run your hospital with paper flying around, why would you expect your paper-based billing company to do any better?  Yet, many hospitals still hand off paper to companies that cannot accept electronic files.  Volumes of paper are difficult to work with whatever the setting.

This is not to say that electronic files per se are easy or effective.  You need to work with a company that has the technology expertise to work with your IT staff or vendor to accept files properly.   Healthwave utilizes its own proprietary claim processing platform built by its own tech staff.  Our staff has the expertise and our system is advanced enough to interface with any hospital information system.

We are technology and billing experts.

Once we take your files, we run them through our patented scrubbing and rules engine.   We check eligiblity through 270/271 interfaces and employ automated procedures to update claims with accurate information.  

What this means to you is a much higher "first-time payment" realization rate.  And there is nothing we can add to emphasize how important getting paid on time is to you.
