E-Inquire

E-Inquire is an integrated electronic commerce solution designed to address the cost reduction needs of the HealthCare industry. This software solution allows a physician too quickly and easily access payer's information across the Internet. A payer allows access to their data to verify eligibility, referral and provider information from an Internet browser. The resulting “next day” posting of transactions allow physicians to check the results of the transaction instead of waiting many days for a reply, and to receive immediate eligibility verification. Additionally, claims status, drug formulary information, and patient/provider lists are available, and all transactions are processed over a secure Internet link. E-Inquire enables payers to easily and inexpensively connect with small physician practices to conduct insurance related transactions. Rather than working with vendors to place software or point-of-service terminals on physician desktops, payers can make information available on a secured Website via a standard Web browser. To maximize revenue and minimize financial surprises for patients, a growing number of provider organizations are conducting managed care transactions electronically with payers. E-Inquire is designed for the payer to operate efficiently and cost-effectively, is a portable system that can be integrated into virtually any payer environment and configuration, and the technology employed for development is standards-based and platform independent.
