Vertex Systems announces the introduction of Intuition Service Billing, a state-of-the-art solution for social services agencies that need to maximize billing to Medicaid and other payers in order to survive their state’s drastic budget cuts.

Westerville, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2011 -- As many states cut budgets, most of the country's social services providers are losing millions of dollars because they are not submitting accurate claims for all the services they provide to those with disabilities. And as the federal government plans to slash Medicaid funding, many providers have been erroneously over-billing or incorrectly coding services for years which has, in part, led to the calls for these funding cuts.

Vertex Systems announces the introduction of Intuition Service Billing, a state-of-the-art solution for social services agencies that need to maximize billing to Medicaid and other payers in order to survive their state's drastic budget cuts. This new software allows a human services organization to bill electronically using an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) offering increased speed and accuracy that is far superior to paper claims and website billing. The application was designed to help ensure these providers can bill for the maximum services that they provide to their clients and reduce their costs to process their claims.

Intuition Service Billing allows providers to bill internally, helping them avoid costly third party billing agents, and at the same time it makes it easier for organizations to submit accurate claims, track claims, and perform claim adjustments. Sanford Chandler, CEO of Vertex Systems, Inc. stated, "Our solution automates 75% of the billing process your business office performs each month. This cuts in half the amount of hours spent with the billing reimbursement process."

In addition to time savings, Intuition Service Billing is approved or certified by the individual states across the country to use the correct HIPAA submission formats so agencies can automatically determine client Medicaid eligibility, prepare and submit Medicaid reimbursement claims (837i and 837p), and process claims remittance advice (835).

"Our billing application automatically applies the correct rates, codes and rules when generating claims for your organization. And Intuition Service Billing creates a series of powerful financial reports to give you the data your staff needs to monitor claim submissions, perform financial analysis, monitor remittance advice, and perform claims analysis and re-authorizations. This billing system can help social services agencies easily identify denied claims and create an audit trail that can be used to defend revenue generated from the billed claims," added Chandler.

Intuition Service Billing allows organizations to submit claims electronically which results in faster processing and payment turnaround time, which improves cash flow. By eliminating paper claims, social services agencies save money on claim forms, office supplies, printing, postage, the time it takes to complete a claim, document management, and document storage. "Our software performs data entry edits and informs you when data is missing before you submit a claim. After you submit a claim, the claim goes from your system into the state's Medicaid portal automatically, which requires less data entry and eliminates the steps required to process paper or the manual website entry of claims. Electronic claims submissions always lowers the risk of losing claims and the problems with human error," said Sanford Chandler.

Vertex Systems endorses the website campaign SaveMedicaid.org which urges Americans to sign the petition to prevent further cuts to Medicaid programs that help children, the elderly, and the disabled citizens of the country.

Westerville, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2011 -- Vertex Systems, Inc., the leading provider of case management, vocational payroll, and financial management software for social service agencies that help those with disabilities, announced their support for the SaveMedicaid.org website and petition campaign.

SaveMedicaid.org is a nonprofit site dedicated to demonstrating to the country's leaders, governors, and representatives how important it is to maintain funding to America's Medicaid program for all the people it serves.

The SaveMedicaid.org site collects signatures, provides news on state Medicaid cuts, and gives tips on how to contact state and federal representatives to save this vital funding. On July 1st, 2011, the federal stimulus money for Medicaid will stop. Prior to this, SaveMedicaid.org will be sending their petition and formal letters to state governors and federal representatives urging them to do their part to help the poor and infirm in this country.

"We understand the recession has had a huge impact on state budgets," said Tim Clark, the Director of Marketing for Vertex Systems.

"But we know taking away funds from the sick, elderly, disabled, and children without health coverage is not the answer." He added that nearly all states have a budget crisis and most are considering major cuts to Medicaid. Those cuts will result in loss of services and programs for those who cannot help themselves.

"Slashing away at Medicaid will also mean more lost jobs in those states. And businesses will lose revenue from the money they spend. People will go without care they need. Hospices will close. People will die. Others will be forced to seek care elsewhere, like the emergency room. Which means the states will have to spend more than they save on these cuts," said Clark.

A recent national poll from Zogby International shows that "65% of likely voters say they oppose policies that resulted in cuts to Medicaid funding for nursing home care for America's poor and elderly." The poll concluded that, "72% say the federal government's role in helping states meet their financial obligations to cover programs such as Medicaid is important."

"This is something the people want. And people who still want Medicaid cuts may not understand how it will hurt those who need it and how it will hurt their economy," stated Clark. "I understand that SaveMedicaid.org is trying to keep our leaders from taking drastic steps that will only shift costs and possibly increase state spending. And Medicaid cuts may harm and kill our citizens."
