Global medical insurance services

A leading provider of claim management system (USA)

State regulations and business processes in health care and insurance industries constantly change, so modern applications have to be flexible, customizable, and should provide workflow management rather than simply reflect the fixed state of business.

Facing increased competition in the insurance industry, our customer - provider of best-in-class claims managements systems, needed to develop a highly scalable business application that feature extraordinary level of customization including a possibility for a company to design and support its own workflow processes. It should provide tools to track insurance information, claims, provider and patient information, medical, regulatory and legal guidelines, and much more.

Novosoft developed a data-centric solution, providing a possibility to enter same data into a variety of industry-standardized forms to accommodate differing needs of various jobs. It uses a three-tier architecture and contains business logic in its middle tier. The application supports several different back-end databases and includes the option to use native Visual FoxPro data. It also tracks all data changes and provides a complete "audit trail" of activity.

The system interfaces with several Microsoft Office applications and uses a number of ActiveX controls, including several designed by Novosoft specifically for this project. Novosoft also developed an Internet front-end to facilitate the data entry of preliminary Claim Notices. Another unique module developed by Novosoft for the project is a suite of Analytical reports accessible through the Web. These reports allow customers to review services online and to analyze the services provided, as well as to view current claim status, statistics, etc.
