Real Edit Intelligence

Modernize claim processing and reduce administrative waste.

Traditional claim processing is complex

Health plans and providers face many challenges when trying to process and pay claims accurately, including:

  • Lack of interoperability between health plan systems and provider workflows
  • Manual processes to exchange data
  • Lack of visibility into health plan-specific requirements
  • Variability in health plan requirements

These complexities drive claim errors, resulting in provider inquiries via phone calls and portal transactions. This leaves health plans with millions of unnecessary SG&A spend.
