Electronic claims processing for the healthcare industry.

History

Gateway EDI's entry into medical office automation began in 1983 when a practicing physician began to search for a computer system to meet the administrative challenge of delivering high quality care at a reasonable cost. After much research and review, he was still dissatisfied with the alternatives available and chose to develop, design and write software from the perspective of the physician and office staff.

Medtech was born. The reception to the system was so overwhelming that in 1984 Office Tech was formed to further develop and support the increasing demand. The Medtech system evolved into a sophisticated system able to deal effectively with the complex Medicare, PPO, HMO indemnity market common in today's medical office.

By 1995, Office Tech was servicing over 200 area physicians with Medtech as their office Management system. It achieved an outstanding reputation for providing increased efficiency and improved cash flow, all within the framework of "easy-to-do software".

Meanwhile, in February 1992, Office Tech unveiled the Quick Claims electronic claims Clearinghouse and accompanying software. Quick Claims was initially designed to meet the electronic needs of Medtech users. However, because of its effectiveness and ability to integrate with other practice Management systems, it found a broad base of acceptance on its own. Due to the overwhelming success of Quick Claims, the Medtech system was sold in late 1995. Medtech is still in existence and one of our preferred vendors.

With the introduction of Quick EDI in 1997, Gateway EDI was able to provide our customers with the additional EDI transactions of Electronic Eligibility, Electronic Remittance, and Electronic Patient Statements.

Along with another name change, many powerful tools were added with the introduction of our website, www.gatewayedi.com , in early 2000. To date these tools include real-time claim status and patient eligibility, various data analyses, on-line reports and the ability to send claims via the web.

Gateway EDI currently has providers in all 50 states, and Guam, filing electronic claims and direct connections to payers all over the country, including government payers in all 50 states. Dedicated to superior customer service and offering superior products and tools for processing EDI transactions, Gateway EDI is one of the leading clearinghouses in the nation.

I like the edits before claims go to carriers – it speeds the process considerably.
