While you work to receive underpayments, you may not find 100% of them. Waystar’s technology quickly identifies transfer DRG underpayments with little to no extra work from your team.

Customer Testimonials
Our previous vendor was nonresponsive and there were a lot of features in Epic that weren't available to us without a major upgrade and increase in pricing. SSI has a reputation with its clients for being good at handling enrollment and making sure that we're as electronic as possible. With SSI, we now have an enrollment portal that allows us to manage the work ourselves, which saves us money in the long run.
We switched to SSI because we needed a better product that would do reconciliation for us and capture our 277 rejections. The SSI functionality is the primary reason we switched, as well as the ease of the system.
The SSI support being U.S.-based versus our previous vendor’s being offshore is a big improvement. We can understand each other...and the SSI system can pull so much more that we need, like partial denials.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the typical costs and pricing models for automated ERA/EFT remittance posting and reconciliation solutions?
- Pricing for automated remittance solutions like those from Waystar, Availity, and SSI typically involves a subscription model based on the volume of transactions or size of the healthcare provider system. Costs might include a base subscription fee with additional charges for higher volumes or advanced features such as EOB conversion or lockbox integration. For instance, Waystar's comprehensive approach to centralizing reconciliation can result in higher initial costs, but these can be offset by increased efficiency and reduced manual processing. Choosing the right pricing model depends on transaction volume and the degree of automation required by the healthcare network.
- What key selection criteria should be considered when choosing an ERA/EFT reconciliation solution?
- Key criteria include the level of integration with existing systems, breadth of payer connections, and technological capabilities such as automation and data normalization. Availity offers a strong network connectivity with its nationwide clearinghouse and multiple payer connections, which is crucial for integrated delivery networks. Consideration should also be given to whether the solution supports both paper and electronic remittances, as in MediStreams’ model with over 500 integrations. Security and compliance with industry standards are also critical factors.
- What industry standards and compliance requirements are relevant for these solutions?
- All solutions need to comply with HIPAA regulations, specifically the standards for electronic transactions including the ANSI 835, as implemented by companies like RemitMax. Compliance with these standards ensures secure and standardized data exchanges, important for both paper and electronic remittances. Using a solution like Availity's RCM platform, which centralizes management across health plans while adhering to these norms, provides a compliance advantage by maintaining data integrity across multiple systems and networks.
- What implementation challenges might integrated delivery networks face with these solutions?
- Implementation challenges often include ensuring seamless integration with diverse hospital IT systems and achieving data normalization across various payer formats. MediStreams addresses compatibility with its rules-driven engine and over 500 integrations, which are critical in ensuring accurate and efficient deployment. Additionally, adapting staff workflows and training them on new systems can be a hurdle that requires comprehensive transition plans and support from the solution provider.
- How do these solutions deliver ROI and value to an organization?
- Automated remittance solutions enhance ROI through increased operational efficiency by reducing manual entry errors, accelerating cash flows, and minimizing administrative overheads. SSI’s platform, for example, streamlines posting by generating pre-reconciled files, which leads to faster payment validations and reductions in denied claims. The shift from paper-based to electronic processes, like RemitMax's conversion capabilities, reduces bottlenecks, leading to tangible savings in time and resources. The value is shown in improved cash management and faster denial follow-up processes.
