SuperCare Medical Implements Authentidate's Inscrybe Healthcare Service to Enhance Health Information Exchange with Referring Physicians

Posted on: Tuesday, 24 March 2009, 07:00 CDT

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure Health Information Exchange and workflow management services, today announced that SuperCare Medical, Inc., a Southern California regional provider of home healthcare products and services, has implemented Authentidate's Inscrybe(TM) Healthcare web-based service to streamline the management of critical business workflows.

"SuperCare Medical is continually seeking ways to enhance our management of clinical care documentation and streamline the administration of those processes to better serve our customers," commented John Cassar, CEO at SuperCare Medical. "Inscrybe will help us continue to provide exceptional service to our patients and physicians on a more cost effective basis."

Inscrybe Healthcare facilitates information exchange with referring physicians for all types of health documents, including Certificates of Medical Necessity, Prior Authorizations, Written Orders and other care documents required for the authorization of medical equipment, therapy and care services for patients. The web-based service automates manual workflow processes and efficiently tracks the status of those communications, reducing the approval cycle time from referring physicians. The streamlined workflows improve the efficiency of clinical and administrative processes, reducing costs while reinforcing best practices.

Inscrybe Healthcare can also interface with billing and clinical systems to further reduce errors and costs of transaction processing. Physicians decide whether to review and sign documentation on the secure Inscrybe website or receive and send documents by facsimile. The flexibility enhances communications between referring physicians and providers because each can do business the way they prefer. Electronic or fax replies are linked to the initial request and updated on all systems automatically. As a web-based platform, Inscrybe is inherently scalable and easy to implement, providing for business expansion at minimal cost.

"SuperCare Medical's decision to utilize our Inscrybe Healthcare service for communications with referring physicians will further advance the timely delivery of quality care to their patients. With an extensive nationwide database of referring physicians, Inscrybe's secure web-based platform brings communications between providers like SuperCare, physicians and health insurance payors to state-of-the-art for the industry. Its centralized management functions provide added workflow efficiencies to improve throughput of time-sensitive clinical documentation across multiple locations and accelerate approvals by referring physicians," said Zachary Madrigal, Director of Sales Western Region at Authentidate.
