SoftCo has also achieved significant success in the Healthcare market with customers globally including Iowa HealthSystems, Vhi Healthcare, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and St Peter’s University Hospital in New Jersey.

The company has also deployed its SoftCo eClaims solution in the Irish Healthcare market. SoftCo eClaims is the only Claims Management Solution in Ireland that successfully automates the processing of hospital health insurance claims in full compliance with the new eClaims standard defined by the major Healthcare Insurers (Vhi, laya & Aviva), known as the Multi Insurer Group (MIG).

“For the eClaims insurers, SoftCo creates fully electronic claims and the system automatically checks them before sending to make sure they’re right, this has effectively eliminated our returned claims, we’re delighted with the results”
-Martin Degnan, CFO, Alliance Medical.

The MIG states that ‘eClaims will revolutionise the way claims are processed in the Irish healthcare industry”resulting in the phasing out of the current inefficient paper claims processes and the delivery of significant benefits for the Industry.

The first hospital deployment of SoftCo eClaims went live in Beacon Hospital in December 2013, followed recently by Alliance Medical with further projects, including Whitfield Clinic in Waterford, going live in 2014.  SoftCo eClaimsstreamlines the entire claim lifecycle and automatically checks the claim data against the insurers’ business rules before they are submitted thereby ensuring accurate claim submissions, reduced claim returns and substantial cash flow benefits to Healthcare providers.

“We are delighted with the growing number of new customers implementing our Business Process Automation Solutions both in Ireland and internationally. This is a direct result of delivering real savings and a strong return on investment to our customers”
