CONCORD, Calif. and HOUSTON, June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Jopari Solutions, a leading supplier of connectivity for providers and Payers in the Property & Casualty markets, and ChartSwap, a cloud-based HIPAA compliant network of Health Care Providers and Medical Record Requestors such as law firms, claims examiners and peer review professionals, today announced a strategic partnership.
"Jopari has an extensive network of medical providers and their technology suppliers who service the Workers' Compensation and Auto Medical industry, as well as relationships with many of the major Payers" explained Steve Stevens, CEO of Jopari. "This network is effectively and seamlessly moving medical billings and attachments between many of the types of clients that would utilize ChartSwap to request, receive, and process medical records requests."
Randy Haynes, CEO of ChartSwap stated "the Jopari-ChartSwap synergy and market overlap is phenomenal, and provides both companies not only the ability to increase transactions, but also opens up potential for expanded services. We have been very impressed with the depth of the Jopari expertise in the P&C marketplace, and they, likewise, with our ability to streamline the often cumbersome process required to obtain medical records."
Added Stevens, "our teams have already envisioned how we will be expanding our next generation of products and services into the Group and Commercial claims attachments space, inasmuch as both of our organizations have existing connectivity with many major Practice Management, EHR/EMR Systems and Clearinghouses, in addition to interfaces with Payers."
Combined, the two organizations are already eliminating the need for providers and payers to exchange paper attachments and copies of medical records that would equate to 1 to 2 million pages a month. "Not only does this partnership further the goals of Administrative Simplification, but it also will be helpful to those organizations as they strive for their Meaningful Use certifications" said Stevens and Haynes.
As part of the partnership, Jopari will be making access to the ChartSwap application part of their provider and payer portal capabilities. Likewise, ChartSwap will have the benefit of expanding their submitter base from the extensive network of Jopari providers, as well as gaining exposure to the Payers that Jopari services directly or through technology solutions partners.
