Mitchell, Healthcare Solutions Implement XML Partner Bridge

Mitchell International Inc., a provider of information, workflow and performance management solutions to the P&C claims and collision repair industries, says the SmartAdvisor XML Partner Bridge is available through Healthcare Solutions' Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider network, serving the workers' compensation industry.

Mitchell says the SmartAdvisor XML Partner Bridge gives medical bill review organizations the power to conduct network contract re-pricing to enhance overall program results. Partner Bridge provides insurance payers with opportunities for containing costs and improving claims settlement, says Mitchell, by retrospectively flagging unscheduled medical bills to obtain the contracted discount.

Built on standard XML file formats, the Partner Bridge is designed to enable users to obtain the latest re-pricing data from networks, negotiation partners, specialty reviewers and other specialty services.
