Yale New Haven Health is an early adopter of a new platform to ease the attaching of medical records to insurance claims for healthcare business offices.

The vendor, MRO, which specializes in release of information services via a platform that facilitates the exchange of protected health information, now is extending into outsourced business office functions supporting the revenue cycle, says Kim Charland, director of revenue cycle services at MRO.

“Our workflows free up billing office staff to focus on revenue-generating tasks, while MRO handles the medical record selection, attachment to claims and distribution to payers,” she adds.
