InstaMed, the leading Healthcare Payments Network, announced today that it enables payers to achieve the highest levels of electronic payment adoption with InstaMed's fully integrated Claims Settlement Complete. By connecting to InstaMed, payers easily manage every provider payment type, including EFT (electronic funds transfer), MasterCard and paper check, on a single, integrated network. With InstaMed Claims Settlement Complete, payers reduce administrative costs and accelerate electronic payment adoption for their provider networks.

Payers on the InstaMed Network also achieve immediate compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) mandate on ERA (electronic remittance advice) and EFT through Phase III CAQH CORE certification.

"Delivering electronic payments is crucial to reducing administrative costs for payers. However, this is not an area where payers can take shortcuts," said Bill Marvin, President and CEO of InstaMed. "The complexities and compliance requirements for managing provider bank accounts, money transfer laws regulated by FinCEN and each of the 50 states, system integration and provider adoption, prevent many organizations from achieving results. InstaMed delivers a robust, independently certified solution that enables payers to streamline all provider payment types, accelerate provider adoption and eliminate the complexities of managing provider payments by connecting to our nationwide network."
