Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) today announced that, following rigorous review, Healthcare Payment Specialists (HPS) has once again achieved the "Peer Reviewed by HFMA®" standard for its Stingray™ service including: Medicare Bad Debt, Disproportionate Share, Transfer DRG, and Shadow Billing.
Stingray™ is a software platform that automates the review and processing of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement reviews for Bad Debt, Disproportionate Share, Transfer DRG, and Shadow Billing. Some of the features of Stingray™ include its ability to process multiple lines of review from a single data set and be implemented within a healthcare provider as a software as a service (SaaS) application for use by a healthcare provider’s internal reimbursement team.
“We are excited to receive the HFMA Peer Review designation,” said Todd Doze, President and CEO of HPS. “HPS developed Stingray™ to provide hospitals and health systems with a way to optimize their reimbursement more effectively and efficiently. This prestigious designation validates that Stingray™ has achieved this objective.”
HFMA's Peer Review process provides healthcare financial managers with an objective, third-party evaluation of products and services used in the healthcare workplace. The rigorous, eleven-step process includes a Peer Review panel review comprised of current customers, prospects who have not made a purchase, and industry experts.
