Carrier Invoice Conversion

We are introducing a new and exciting feature to the Data Validation Platform to simplify working with carrier files that are not platform-friendly and require significant manual adjustments before they can be used for auditing. Our first supported carrier for this functionality is the Guardian Row-Based Invoice.

What This Functionality Does:

• • • • Removes adjustments and blank rows to streamline data processing.
      • Expands member names into separate columns for First Name, Last Name, and Middle Initial (MI).
      • Totals costs where benefits have separate charges on separate rows for spouse and child, such as Critical Illness and Voluntary Life.
      • Adds additional total columns for benefits that are separated in one file but combined in another. This applies to Group Life and AD&D, as well as Voluntary Life and AD&D.

The converted file is then ready for audit use, significantly reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.

This additional functionality is now available at the Company level in the left-hand menu.

Added additional Carrier

In our ongoing effort to expand our list of available carriers, we are pleased to announce that AmeriHealth Administrators has been added to the Carrier Tracking feature.

Please note that Carrier Tracking is only available with Platinum Elite and Subscription-Based Audit Plans.

Fixes

Applicable users: All Users

Update export file format for Original Baseline/Secondary – Discrepancies Only

Revised the original baseline/secondary discrepancies-only reports to correctly display large numerical values, such as employee IDs, without converting them to scientific notation. The issue occurred because the export files were in CSV format. Changing the file format to Excel resolved the number conversion issue.
