XactiMed Successfully Implements Memorial Hermann Healthcare System

XactiMed Successfully Implements Memorial Hermann Healthcare System

Memorial Hermann Healthcare System Goes Live on XactiMed's Revenue Cycle Solution

DALLAS, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- XactiMed, a provider of claims, remittance and denial management revenue cycle solutions to the healthcare industry, today announced Houston-based Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, MHHS, is now live on its electronic claims processing and management revenue cycle system for all 12 Memorial Hermann facilities.

Both Memorial Hermann and XactiMed report that XClaim was implemented on time, while achieving all client requirements and expectations. The success was due to outstanding project management from both companies throughout the implementation and a thorough parallel testing process prior to go-live. The testing process allowed MHHS to feel very confident about the results of their go-live decision.

Throughout the implementation process XactiMed worked closely with the MHHS team to identify areas for additional automation within the current operation. As a result, XClaim's product capabilities and ease of customization allowed MHHS to increase its first pass rate from 0% to 76% upon implementation.

Michael Bennett, Memorial Hermann Health System, Assistant Vice President, Operations/Finance Patient Business Services, said, "Throughout our rigorous search process there were two key factors that made XactiMed the best choice for Memorial Hermann. First -- their product offers tremendous flexibility and it is extremely user friendly. But even more important to us was how we were treated as a prospect and, now, as a client. They gave us a feeling from Day 1 that our business was very important to them. XactiMed's automation has allowed Memorial Hermann to submit more than 70% of our claims without biller intervention and when you send between 75,000 and 80,000 bills per month, that automation is paramount to continued A/R improvement."

Darin LeGrange, XactiMed's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Memorial Hermann's implementation process was a true collaboration between both parties. We are proud of the results our implementation team achieved in ensuring a successful implementation for Memorial Hermann. It's a testament to the level of service and automation we provide our clients. I look forward to a continued and successful relationship."
