MediConnect has been granted a patent for its state-of-the-art record retrieval solution. Since 1996, MediConnect has become the premiere provider of online record retrieval. MediConnect's RapidRetrieve solution is the industry's most secure, fast, and cost efficient means of obtaining medical records for underwriting insurance, for processing insurance claims, and for processing all legal documents that involve the use of medical records and files.
"The awarding of a new patent on MediConnect's core technology is a tremendous event," said Michael Colemere, MediConnect's president and CEO. "This new patent underscores the uniqueness of the RapidRetrieve approach to medical record retrieval, and allows our service to stand entirely apart in its ability to retrieve and deliver medical records securely, quickly, and in the most cost-effective means possible for the hundreds of insurance and legal industry clients we serve."
MediConnect is entirely HIPAA compliant, using enterprise data processing and Internet application technology that is state-of-the-art. As described in the company's new patent, the MediConnect retrieval process includes a data processing center (powered by Sun Enterprise servers) that acts as a central clearinghouse for processing medical record requests. Under the terms of the patent, the data processing center encrypts a digital copy of each requested medical record and sends it to the requestor using communications links that can take advantage of Internet connections and speed.
Since its inception, MediConnect has established itself as a preferred retrieval and delivery provider for the life and health insurance industry as well as for the legal industry. Strategic partners include companies such as Prudential Insurance, the insurance broker/general agent industry, and Trial Works, the legal industry's leading law practice management software.
In every case, MediConnect's retrieval services improve the cost, turnaround time and efficiency of processes such as insurance underwriting by reducing the time and tasks involved in fulfilling medical record retrieval requirements. The process can be tracked and completed entirely online, through secure Internet connections. The process is simple to learn and use, and allows users to receive the resulting documents as electronic files.
In addition to MediConnect's patented technology, clients cite the excellent level of technology integration MediConnect provides, the company's pricing, the speed of response and customer service as key factors in their decisions to standardize on medical records retrieval services from MediConnect.
