Abstract:
Healthcare medical billing has been progressing into the digital era for several years, but it has been a slow and expensive process that has left many parts of the industry behind. One of the many things that have been overlooked in the progression is security, especially now that medical records are worth far more than credit card numbers on the black market. Another issue the healthcare industry has been dealing with is the lack of systems being incorporated. Currently, there are companies that are using printed out spreadsheets to find rules for coverage of a procedure based on any insurance company’s policies. Using business rules engines and rule validations, we make it easier for a doctor or office to type in lab results and see whether a procedure will be covered by a patient’s insurance company. We chose to create these using the Salesforce Cloud development service.
