Hospital claims are funders single largest component of expenditure, and are therefore the single most viable target of cost management.
But hospital claims are clinically complex, financially intricate, and subject to complex rules and structures
that inter-relate in different ways. This makes manual processing of hospital claims time-consuming, very costly, and error-prone.
Manual claim adjudication therefore fails to achieve required savings for funders - even more so when offset against
member complaints and marketplace reputation.
HospiCheq, a proudly South African product, automates hospital claim adjudication, bringing efficiency, consistency, and cost-effective savings that rival those of intensive manual scrutiny.
HospiCheq also supports varying degrees of manual clinical audit so that funders can achieve a higher impact of cost saving where they have the scale to invest more in the clinical expertise overlay.

To make it as simple and efficient as possible for the client to provide data, the data requirements are not prescriptive with regards to the file Structure. Files should preferably be pipe delimited with the data fields in the same order as requested.
Medsys would consider whatever format is easiest for the client to supply provided the required data is included and charge lines are not "repeated/duplicated".
