Medical Division Compliance Products
In the last 10 years, the issue of "compliance" broadly-speaking, has become central to the healthcare industry. The US Federal government and its enforcement arms, State governments and various quasi-public regulatory authorities have passed increasingly focused legislation and established protocols to minimize fraudulent activity in the process of claims submission and reimbursement. These rules require providers and business associates to adhere to an extremely rigid formula in their business activities. Further, the industry has been exposed to revolutionary technology and data issues, requiring industry players to collect, transmit and secure data in new and innovative ways. Compliance is as much about integrity and format of data, privacy and security as it is about the integrity of financial transactions.
Healthcare providers of all sizes number approximately 450,000 nationwide. There is an enormous potential for different standards, problems and issues to emerge across, for example, any one cross-section. Our products are put together bearing in mind this diversity and are made as simple and user-friendly as possible. We also bear foremost in mind the fact that today's healthcare professional is running scared. He or she worries that the organization in which they work is not complying with the letter or spirit of the laws and regulations governing their profession. They worry that an investigation of some kind is imminent, that law suits from non-governmental litigants are also forthcoming and that, as an organization, their reputation and very survival may be at stake.
Healthcare organizations must even be suspicious of their own employees, as the trend in recent years has been for employees to file suits related to non-compliant practices in the hope of receiving a portion of what is usually a substantial settlement. Moreover, today's healthcare organization fights these battles in the course of their every day business: healing people, doing research, keeping costs low, and trying to turn a profit. Small wonder that non-compliance appears to be the norm across the sector.
