Wonderbox Technologies Helps Payers Continue Transition to Cyber Benefits Companies with Enterprise System Version 6.2 Enhancements

MEQUON, Wis., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing dedication to helping health payers make the transition to becoming 21^st century cyber benefit companies, Wonderbox Technologies, an agile, innovative software firm that is part of the SKYGEN USA family of benefit solutions companies, today announced it has released Version 6.2 of its Enterprise System benefit management platform. A cyber benefits organization transforms the current health benefit landscape by offering an information-rich environment that connects all patrons while delivering benefits faster and at substantially lower costs than traditional approaches.

The latest version of Wonderbox Technologies' flagship software delivers new capabilities and enhancements that enable health payers to continue automating outmoded manual processes. This intelligent use of automation saves time, lowers labor requirements, and reduces the cost of benefit delivery while helping payers drive superior, more responsive service to members.

Leading the extensive list of enhancements is a new Appeals Module that enables users to log and annotate appeals and complaints directly in the Enterprise System. Related documentation can be attached directly to the relevant appeal or complaint record. The Appeals Module can also be used to assign which appeals specialist will work on particular appeals and complaints. As a result, the Enterprise System can create a work list for each individual showing open appeals. The system is easily searchable, and a built-in reporting function allows managers to view an overall picture or drill down into more details as needed.

"Health payers today are facing a double-edged sword of rising member expectations, due to the consumerization of healthcare, coupled with an economy that requires them to do more with less," said Darrin Haehle, chief information officer and president of Wonderbox Technologies. "Inefficient processes simply won't suffice in this environment. Wonderbox Technologies is always looking for opportunities to provide automated solutions to address industry needs. It's all part of our commitment to anticipate requirements rather than react to them."

Version 6.2 also introduces a new Therapy Portal that enables occupational, physical, and speech therapists to submit and manage requests for authorizations online rather than calling, faxing, or mailing information, which then needs to be manually entered into the system. When online authorizations are submitted through the Therapy Portal, benefit administrators and payers can immediately access the authorizations through the Enterprise System user interface. In addition, therapists can instantly view the status of all requests in the Therapy Portal, select approved authorizations, and submit claims against them with just a few clicks.

The Credentialing Application Portal has added three more capabilities to existing functionality for Payers. The first is an option to download and import an XML version of a provider's credentialing application directly into the payer's previously enabled system. This is in addition to the traditional PDF download option. For current Enterprise System users, Version 6.2 adds web service integration to pull provider credentialing data from the portal directly into the Credentialing Module with a single click, without the need for further integration. Additionally, payers will be able to view a complete download history while gaining access to individual applications for record keeping and historical upkeep purposes.

A fourth major enhancement is a provider data locking feature that prevents overwriting of the most current, verified provider information during network loads or other maintenance operations. To ensure the integrity of verified provider data, the ability to update locked records is strictly controlled through role-based security credentials, allowing the Enterprise System to be the single source of truth for provider information.

"Each new version of the Enterprise system comes with a host of new features and capabilities, and Version 6.2 continues that commitment," said Craig Kasten, chairman of the board and co-founder of SKYGEN USA. "We believe that in order to make it to the 22^nd century, payers must become cyber benefit organizations in the 21^st. Everything we do is based on helping them achieve that goal. The Enterprise System is already the most agile and innovative technology in the industry. Version 6.2 helps us extend that lead."
