PR - SearchAmerica Introduces Address Checker and Payment Advisor Suit

Minneapolis-based SearchAmerica, a provider of prediction technology for payment and automated charity, Medicaid and other government program processing, todayunveiled its new Address Checker and Payment Advisor Suite solutions. The new solutions are designed to help hospitals acquire and use accurate patient information at the Point of Service to uncover the best financial relationship for both parties.

Address Checker is an affordable solution for hospitals to dramatically improve patient address accuracy at registration or pre-registration. Using accurate patient demographics, hospitals can minimize third party billing rejections, returned patient letters and invoices, and bad debt write-offs. Address Checker is integrated into a hospital's HIS system, and validates a patient's demographics, including full name, address, Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth (DOB) and phone number, highlighting inaccuracies in seconds.

Payment Advisor Suite consists of SearchAmerica's three industry-leading solutions that are fully integrated. The suite is designed to help hospitals properly identify and classify patients, and initiate the corresponding workflow. Payment Advisor Suite's
integrated solutions include:

• Payment Advisor provides a prediction of payment likelihood.
• Charity Advisor screens patients for charity/uninsured discounts and produces the necessary documentation.
• Medicaid Advisor screens for Medicaid eligibility.
  

"With our new outsourced solutions, hospitals can easily automate their patient demographic validation, payment predictability assessment, and charity or government program screening and enrollment," said Daniel Johnson, President and CEO of SearchAmerica. "Not only can they save time for their financial counselors, hospitals will minimize bad debt, improve overall patient satisfaction, and offer a neutral service to initiate appropriate payment processes. We are pleased to introduce these two new solutions from SearchAmerica to enable hospitals to address these issues efficiently and affordably."

Address Checker and Payment Advisor Suite are immediately available from SearchAmerica.
