HealthEdge Releases Revolutionary Component-Based Healthcare Portal Offering

Next-generation technology solution enables payors to offer advanced self-service capabilities to their members, employers, and providers

Burlington, MA, April 15, 2010—HealthEdge, provider of the only modern, enterprise-class software platform for healthcare payors, today announced the availability of the latest release of HealthRules® Portal, an application that enables payors to deliver superior levels of service to members, providers and employers. Unlike other offerings, HealthRules Portal can be deployed as either a complete, customizable, end-to-end solution or as a set of components that can be embedded in a payor’s existing portal, significantly enhancing its capabilities while maximizing the payor’s existing technology investments.

“Many of our customers and prospects are eager to take advantage of the enhanced productivity, agility and real-time access to data and information that this latest version of HealthRules Portal provides,” explained HealthEdge COO Ray Desrochers. “Unlike other solutions that require an ‘all-or-nothing’ deployment approach, with HealthRules Portal our clients get to set the pace – immediate full adoption or a gradual expansion of use based upon their evolving business needs.”

HealthRules Portal provides members, providers, and employers with convenient, instant, secure access to an unprecedented level of detailed information related to coverage, claims, and billing. It is designed to eliminate many of the most time-consuming and costly calls to payors’ customer service representatives while providing new levels of transparency and efficiency and allowing everyone involved in the healthcare delivery cycle to more easily collaborate and make better informed decisions.

According to Desrochers, “Payors across the country are quickly realizing that they must leverage new technology in order to successfully compete in the rapidly evolving healthcare marketplace. HealthRules Portal provides an exciting new way for them to interact with their members, providers, and employers, in real-time, and it allows payors to offer a set of next-generation services and capabilities, based upon their timetable and their specific needs, that will help to further differentiate them from their competitors.”
