iTech has introduced a "Seamless Claim Status Inquiry" feature in its expEDIum Medical Billing (eMB) product to make seamless inquiries from the original claims submitted through eMB.

iTech, a Healthcare IT Solutions vendor specializing in delivering a secure, affordable, and comprehensive Web-based Medical Billing & Practice Management Solution, implemented a seamless claim status inquiry to their expEDIum product suite.

CAQH® 2019 Index states that “Medical plan adoption of electronic claim submissions is at 96 percent, adoption of claim status inquiry is at 70 percent & adoption of eligibility and benefit verification is at 84%”. To handle aged and denied claim, billers must know the claims' status by making AR calls to various payers which is time-consuming and expensive for the clinics. Now in expEDIum, the new claim status inquiry feature creates a seamless process to pull several aged, denied claims, initiate inquiries, and use the system to follow up on such claims effectively thus saving accounts receivables cost. expEDIum already supports seamless Insurance Eligibility Verifications (IEV). expEDIum Product suite does not support prior authorization as the industry adoption of standardized, electronic Prior authorization remains low relative to other HIPAA mandated electronic transactions.

There is a per transaction fee that applies to both Claim Status Inquiries and Insurance Eligibility Verifications when performed from expEDIum suite of products.

iTech currently uses Exchange EDI® as our preferred clearinghouse for Claim Status Inquiries and Insurance Eligibility Verifications.
