RAM Technologies HEALTHsuite® claims management application provides support for salary based premium calculations.

Fort Washington, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/11/2012 -- RAM Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of advanced healthcare administrative systems for the payer market has enhanced their HEALTHsuite administrative system to support the variation of health insurance premiums based on employee income. This functionality will provide tangible benefits to organizations looking to avoid the financial penalties associated with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

More and more companies are moving towards health insurance premiums based on employee salary, this has created the need for greater flexibility in premium calculations. This need will continue to grow when health insurance exchanges, as required by the healthcare reform law, begin to operate in 2014. At that time, if an employee's health insurance premium exceeds 9.5 percent of total household income, then that employee can opt out of the company provided plan and instead select subsidized coverage on the state's health insurance exchange. For each instance where this scenario occurs the employer can be penalized up to $3,000.

"We have recognized a trend in the industry towards salary based premiums and have modified the HEALTHsuite application to accommodate this very specific need," states Robert A. Tulio, President of RAM Technologies. "This feature will make it easier for companies to offer affordable coverage to their entire workforce. This is specifically relevant as health insurance exchanges come into play in 2014 when companies who do not provide affordable coverage will face penalties."

RAM's solution suite is comprised of the HEALTHsuite administrative application and the eHealthsuite™ web portal product. HEALTHsuite is an enterprise solution with fully integrated functionality to automate all aspects of health plan administration including functionality for Eligibility and Enrollment, Benefit Administration, Provider Contracting and Reimbursement, Medical / Utilization Management, Premium Billing, Care Management, Claims Processing, Customer Service and Contact Management, Reporting, EDI and more.

RAM Technologies, Inc. has announced the release of version 9.0 of their leading edge healthcare administrative solution HEALTHsuite®.

Fort Washington, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2010 -- RAM Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of software applications for health care payers has released Version 9.0 of their enterprise payer solution HEALTHsuite. Version 9.0 features several significant advancements in the areas of enrollment, benefit administration, premium billing, customer service and claims management for health plans and benefit administrators.

The HEALTHsuite system is constantly evolving to accommodate the needs of the industry. New features are added quarterly to increase the overall value to RAM clients. The new features of HEALTHsuite 9.0 have been designed and implemented around HEALTHsuite's rules-based processing engine - allowing each client the flexibility to administer their business according to their individual needs.

Highlights:
HEALTHsuite 9.0 features detailed support for value based benefits processing, enabling plans to increase benefits and reduce patient responsibilities for making healthier lifestyle choices. With this feature, health plans can raise, lower or waive patient copays and deductibles as well as increase benefits for participating individuals.

The customer service capabilities of HEALTHsuite have been dramatically expanded and allow health plan representatives to log, track and route inquiries and requests for service from all constituent groups. Customer service representatives can capture multiple requests for service from a single contact, prioritize them and can electronically attach any information to the request (specific claims, authorization information, benefits, bills, payments, etc.) and route each component to the appropriate individual or queue for review and completion. HEALTHsuite's new Customer Service capabilities embrace CRM philosophy and utilize technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes allowing health plans to better service their members, providers and employer groups.

HEALTHsuite has expanded support for the following Medicare Prospective Payment Systems: Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC), Long Term Care (LTC), Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF), and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). All of these prospective payment systems, in addition to DRG and APC, may be invoked in real-time as components of HEALTHsuite's unmatched claim adjudication process.

Version 9.0 features customized enrollment capabilities. This function allows each health plan to customize HEALTHsuite dialogs to align with their specific enrollment process by selectively removing / naming the data elements that are important to their organization. This capability allows plans to customize on-line enrollment processes reducing errors and data entry time.

HEALTHsuite's Interactive Voice Response (IVR) capabilities have been streamlined providing even more access for members and providers to their information. This enhancement utilizes web services to support eligibility requests and claim status inquiries. Users are now able to submit inquiries via phone and instantaneously receive responses with specific information returned from HEALTHsuite to match their query.

Support for Taxonomy Code has been added to Provider, Benefits, Fee Schedules, Authorization and Claim modules. The Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code (HPTC) is an external non-medical data code set used to classify health care providers according to provider type and/or practitioner specialty.

In response to the subsidy requirements of Health Care Reform, HEALTHsuite's premium billing capabilities have been expanded to accommodate the splitting of financial responsibility among unlimited parties including local / state / federal government entities, associations / unions, employers, guardians, and individuals, etc.

"The latest release of HEALTHsuite improves the flexibility and efficiency of the fully integrated, enterprise solution" states Christopher P. Minton, Executive Vice President of RAM Technologies. "Many of the enhancements found in version 9.0 were a direct result of close interaction with our clients. RAM is dedicated to exceeding the needs of our clients and positioning our applications to meet the demands of the future."

HEALTHsuite is an enterprise wide application with fully integrated modules to support eligibility / enrollment, benefit administration, provider contracting / reimbursement, medical management, premium billing, care management, claims adjudication, overpayment recovery, customer service / call tracking, subrogation, reporting, EDI and more. eHealthsuite™ is RAM's portal product that provides real-time, self service access to information for members, providers, brokers and employers via the Internet.

Fort Washington, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/10/2009 -- RAM Technologies is pleased to announce their latest preparations and advancements of the HEALTHsuite® claims management application to meet anticipated changes of health care reform.

With the Federal Government about to introduce significant health care reform, many health care payers are looking to RAM Technologies, Inc. as their software solution HEALTHsuite® has long provided innovative support for the administration of Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, CHIP, and Federal Employee Health Benefit Plans (FEHBP).

"Congressional discussions have had a significant focus on leveraging the know-how and experience of federally sponsored programs like Medicare and Federal Employee Health Plans. With significant changes to health care on the way, health care payers will benefit from advanced systems designed to accommodate federal health care processing requirements" says Robert Tulio, President of RAM Technologies, Inc. "The potential incorporation of government subsidies will go a long way to make health care more affordable for many under and uninsured Americans – but will create issues for many payers and core systems. HEALTHsuite already supports health care subsidies, along with the ability to split-out and assign financial responsibility for all beneficiaries across an unlimited number of entities including Federal and State Government. This is another example of RAM's vision ensuring that our products are well positioned to support the future needs of our clients."

HEALTHsuite is an innovative web based solution developed to automate the complex business of healthcare administration. Organizations looking for a fully integrated product suite designed to adapt to the ever changing demands of health care administration will appreciate the forward thinking and robust capabilities offered by HEALTHsuite.
