Benefit Administrative Systems Incorporates VIIAD’s Health Ticket Technology Into Its Integrated Health Management Portfolio

VIIAD’s Health Ticket Is a Critical Element of National Benefit TPA’s Healthcare Delivery Strategy

PHILADELPHIA - Benefit Administrative Systems, LLC (BAS), a national employee benefits administrator, has integrated VIIAD Systems’ Health Ticket platform into its integrated health plan management solution.

VIIAD’s Health Ticket is an on demand, real time electronic identification, direction and PPO compliance technology that provides much more information than the traditional identification card and transmits all the information relevant to a health care transaction to the patient, provider and payor.

“The VIIAD Health Ticket plays a key role in BAS’ integrated plan management solution. BAS, along with some very large national healthcare organizations, is involved in an initiative to provide self-funded health plans a program which integrates healthcare delivery, patient health management and claim management,” said Joe Toscano, President of BAS.

“The Health Ticket allows employees to get a quotation of benefits, identify whether their healthcare provider is in or out of network, verify their eligibility and generate their own personal health record. In addition, our on-site physicians can use the Health Ticket as a scheduling and referral tool when sending employees to specialists. Employees can use the Health Ticket as a tool to generate a test order when scheduling age and gender-appropriate screening tests, such as annual blood work, cholesterol testing and other screening tests at local laboratories and clinics.”

“Employees are often overwhelmed with the complexity of their benefit plans and the process they need to follow to access approved care,” said April Stiles, COO of VIIAD Systems. “The Health Ticket empowers employees to make informed decisions, simplifies the process for providers, and reduces administrative and medical costs for health plans.
