HTP to Add Claim Overpayment Protection

Columbus, Ohio - Healthcare Transaction Processors Inc. (HTP), Columbus, Ohio, announced it is integrating claim overpayment protection services (COPS) into its HTP Transaction Manager suite, which serves health insurers, HMOs, TPAs, IPAs and other medical payment organizations. COPS leverages ClaimsGuard technology from Bloodhound Inc., a Research Triangle Park, N.C., software company. The enhancement will enable real-time editing of claims before they are entered into the client's claim system. Through a series of business and clinical rules and other algorithms, COPS identifies anomalies in clients' claims data, such as potential overpayments, overutilization, duplicate claims and questionable provider billing practices.
