Healthx, Inc., the industry leading engagement platform company for
healthcare payers today announced it has signed an agreement with Change
Healthcare to support the InterQualConnect™ Medical Review
Service as an integrated part of its authorization solution. With
InterQual Connect, payers can easily automate all authorization
requests, even those requiring medical review, within their existing
systems. Providers receive quicker authorization approvals for most
requests and payers only need to touch the exceptions that can’t be
approved automatically.
“With InterQual Connect Medical Review Service now available to all
Healthx customers, we are easing the administrative burden by automating
more authorization requests. And by providing access to our leading
evidence-based InterQual® Criteria, payers and providers are able to
consistently apply evidence-based clinical decision support,” said Nilo
Mehrabian, VP Product Management, Decision Support with Change
Healthcare.
“By seamlessly integrating InterQual Connect into our authorization
solution workflow, payers are able to increase their automation rate for
authorization transactions submitted by providers, while ensuring
compliance with clinical care guidelines to control medical spend. By
creating a fully integrated user experience for providers, more
transactions can be processed online without requiring telephone calls
and manual processing,” said Mike Gordon, Chief Strategy Officer at
Healthx. “Moreover, we believe that to be an enterprise class player in
our industry, accomplishing the heavy lift of integration and
certification for all clinical care guidelines is a pre-requisite.” With
this agreement, Healthx becomes the only engagement platform company to
support any Healthcare Payer’s clinical care guidelines.
Healthx anticipates general availability for its InterQual integration
in the 4th quarter of 2019.
