Comprehensive Lockbox Processing Features

Remittances Processing

Wholesale (B2B) – Payer Payments with or without Correspondence
Healthtek manages payments from payers and government entities. Checks are deposited into the respective provider’s accounts with unique digital IDs for easy tracking. A daily deposit report is generated, including these IDs and other key parameters; and validated against deposit files for accuracy. Check images are encrypted and sent for ICL processing, while supporting documents are securely stored or shared in a client-specified manner.

Retail (C2B) – Patient or Consumer Payments
Payments from individuals, such as patient payments with remittance coupons, are handled efficiently. Each payment receives a unique digital ID, validated using OCR and MICR technologies. RPA ensures accuracy and security throughout the validation process. Encrypted data files and check images are deposited via ICL into the respective accounts, ensuring compliance and fast cash flow.

Correspondence Management

Correspondence (B2B) – Documents Without Payment
Correspondence and documents that do not involve payment are processed with the same precision. Each document receives a unique digital ID, passes through quality assurance (QA), and is securely encrypted and stored. Clients can access categorized images and detailed reports, tailored to their specific requirements. Secure storage is maintained for the defined period, after which documents are shredded in compliance with HIPAA guidelines.

Exception Processing

Special Mail Handling
Specialized documents such as legal paperwork, certified mail, and tax forms are processed according to client requirements. Each item is assigned a unique tracking ID to ensure accuracy, security, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Handling of Misdirected/Undelivered Mail
Healthtek's ClaimX™ System registers and processes misdirected or undelivered mail, capturing critical data elements and sharing them with clients and the Post Office. This ensures the integrity of the mailing process and improves database accuracy.

Secure Collection & Imaging

All incoming mail and documents are collected, processed, and stored in secure, 24/7 monitored facilities. Each document is assigned a barcoded ID and digitized upon receipt, ensuring traceability and accuracy.

  • Digitization is available in multiple formats, including TIFF, PDF, PNG, and JPG, with options for editable and non-editable formats.
  • Encrypted files and images ensure data protection.
  • Physical mail is securely stored under surveillance, with client-specified destruction timelines to meet compliance.

Automated Data Extraction & Validation

Healthtek utilizes advanced OCR technology to extract relevant information from remittance documents, reducing manual labor and enhancing speed.

  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA) verifies data accuracy and automates the validation process, further minimizing errors.
  • Multiple validation layers, including MICR and encrypted security checks, ensure a processing accuracy of 99.99%.
  • Data files are securely transferred and integrated into the client’s financial systems for seamless reconciliation.

  • Comprehensive, customized reports are generated, providing full visibility into remittance and payment processes.
  • Clients receive digitized documents and real-time data reports for easier monitoring of their accounts receivable.
