Progressive Medical IFX 8.0 to Enable Claims Professionals to More Quickly and Cost Effectively Respond to Injured Party Needs
RIMS 2008,
"Upon log-in, claims professionals have easy access to all the information they need to accomplish their jobs," said Dave Bianconi, president and CEO of Progressive Medical. "With this greatly enhanced version of IFX, a claims professional can give direction on a claim in a matter of seconds."
IFX 8.0 has a user-friendly interface that enables claims professionals, managers and executives the ability to see their pending tasks when they sign in to the system. IFX 8.0 makes performing claims administration tasks easier, including submitting referrals, activating or deactivating service, researching service history or even assigning medication plans. IFX 8.0 also provides easy access to valuable reference tools such as clinical information, pharmacy locations, policies and medication plans.
IFX 8.0 is role-based so that team members only have access to the information that is appropriate for their role, whether they are a claims professional, manager or executive. With IFX 8.0's advanced search capabilities, claims professionals can easily look up an injured party's file based on search criteria such as the injured party's name, severity of the injury and date of the claim.
In addition to its extensive claims administration features, IFX 8.0 also includes real-time reporting capabilities. Reports can be downloaded easily and quickly based on existing template reports or customized to meet the needs of an executive or manager.
"Progressive Medical based IFX 8.0 on what our clients told us they needed to better serve their injured parties more efficiently and cost-effectively," Bianconi said. "This technology combined with our experienced team and expansive network of pharmacies, home health care services, and medical equipment suppliers enables Progressive Medical to help companies contain workers' compensation costs."
IFX 8.0 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and comes with educational training, technical support and customer service. There is also an online chat capability where users can contact a support representative at Progressive Medical almost immediately, without having to pick up the phone or waste time on hold. IFX 8.0 can be configured to integrate with a company's existing technology.
IFX 8.0 will be available in the fourth quarter of 2008.
