Electronic health claims--1988 and beyond.
The board members of NEIC: Aetna Life and Casualty, CIGNA, EQUICOR-Equitable HCA Corp., John Hancock Mutual Life, Metropolitan Life, McDonnell Douglas Corp., and The Travelers, as well as the other owners and carrier members, are committed to electronic media claims. It is not a question of if, but when, all claims and attendant transactions will be submitted electronically. It will happen because it makes sound economic sense for the provider and for the carrier, and it will make life easier for the insured. It is no wonder EMC has become one of the hottest topics and growth areas in the healthcare information systems industry today.
