National IT Consulting and Staffing Firm, Jawood Business Process Solutions to exhibit at National Plan Automation Group (NPAG) Conference, June 6-9 in New Orleans. 

NPAG provides a forum for the exchange of questions and answers about all aspects of Electronic Data Interchange EDI. The conference objective is to bring people together to share knowledge, mistakes and successes.  EDI can be a powerful tool in today’s healthcare industry. Used properly to submit claims electronically, it saves hundred of man hours and thousands of dollars for healthcare insurers.  The federal government has identified EDI as a potential cost-savings initiative, estimating that electronic claim submission can save the national healthcare system over $40 billion per year.

Due to recent government mandates, healthcare payers including the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans must transition to the new 5010 HIPPA and ICD-10 data code sets. Jawood, which has over 20 years experience supporting the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans offers solutions to ensure compliancy with the new mandates.

Continuing the conversation between healthcare payers and vendors like Jawood is important to EDI’s continued success. “Events like NPAG not only allow us [Jawood] to market our tools and services, they also allow us to open communication channels with healthcare payers directly, which allow us to innovate by creating solutions that match the specific needs of healthcare payers” says Jawood’s VP Sales & Marketing, Ron Miller.
