Neighborhood Health Partnership, Inc. (Miami) Selects ENS, a
subsidiary of NWH, for E-Commerce Services - Full-service, national
health care e-commerce company to manage Neighborhood Health Plan's
claims transactions NEW YORK, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Electronic Network Systems, Inc. (ENS), a subsidiary of NWH, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NWIR), announced that Miami, Florida-based Neighborhood
Health Partnership, Inc. (NHP) has selected ENS to provide
transaction services for claims to its providers. "This partnership
with ENS will be our third Clearinghouse connection," said John T.
Fries, NHP's Executive Vice President. "We have found that during
the sales and implementation process, ENS has provided superior
service in comparison to others in the industry. NHP and ENS agree
that building this connection is the first step, and that ultimate
success will rely upon strategic marketing and quality service to
the provider market. Our goal is to increase our electronic claims
processing to 50% within the first year. We are confident that ENS'
PASS(TM) services will enhance our claim-submission process while
providing additional EDI options to more providers and reduce
administrative costs at the same time." ENS' Pre-Adjudication
Software System (PASS(TM)) automates complex business rules and
processes. PASS(TM), which will be implemented for NHP's HMO and
PPO business, will help streamline transaction flow, increase auto-
adjudication rate, eliminate duplicate claims, and populate a
specific NHP Preferred Provider ID, which many providers have not
been able to provide in their current EDI files to date. Thereby,
PASS(TM) allows NHP to receive clean electronic claims, which
reduces associated costs with paper claims and increases electronic
claim volume. Dean Politi, ENS Senior Vice President of Payer
Services said, "The robust functionality of our PASS(TM) solution
enables NHP to increase the ability for more providers to send
electronic claims due to the upfront claims pre- adjudication
process, which helps increase its adjudication rate while
recognizing and reducing errors and unwanted duplicates." Politi
explained that PASS(TM) is tailored to meet the complex internal
business logic of each payer to provide real-time eligibility
verification with automated member and provider matching to the
payer's host system records. "Any procedures manually interpreted
by adjudicators today can now be automated by PASS(TM) with the
added benefit of detailed transaction logging and audit reporting,"
he concluded. Le Ann Eyres, ENS Director of Payer Services stated,
"NHP chose to partner with ENS for several reasons, but primarily
to gain its substantial connectivity within the Florida market and
to utilize ENS' Xpedite(TM), a proven marketing plan that will
immediately track and measure EDI growth once the connection is
live. In this industry, there is more to signing the contract and
building a direct connect -- it is the delivery of ENS' commitment
and its services that make the difference." ENS' leading-edge
health care transactions platform offers a single interface to
conduct all HIPAA-defined transactions between payers and providers
nationally, minimizing paper-intensive and labor-intensive
processes. About Neighborhood Health Partnership Neighborhood
