TORONTO, April 4, 2017 /CNW/ - Symbility Solutions
Inc., ("Symbility") (TSX.V: SY), is proud to unveil the Symbility
Health Mobile Claims® mobile application. The app has been built so
that any Third-Party Administrator (TPA) or Third-Party Payer (TPP)
in the Canadian group benefits industry can white-label the
application and provide a dramatically improved member experience
to their employee groups.
"The ability for our customers, regardless of size, to be able
to add their own branding to these apps is a game changer," said
Shannon McShane-Reed, President of
Symbility Health. "For far too long, Third-Party Administrators and
Payers tried to build their businesses while having to give out
access to apps and web portals that carry large carriers' branding.
We're excited to be providing these hard working TPAs and TTPs with
the tools that will make them look better in their customers' eyes,
while growing their brand and their businesses."
Symbility Health's mobile application also features patented
technology for real-time claims processing with automatic fraud
detection, a first in the Canadian market. Leveraging Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) and Artificial Intelligence, the app
automatically detects oddities and flags claims for human review.
This layer of automation and protection creates efficiencies in the
adjudication process and enables TPAs, TPPs, or even Insurance
Carriers to gain a distinct competitive advantage.
"We are excited to be able to offer this new fully branded app
to our clients. Not only does it look great having the app fully
branded to our company, but the powerful user experience will
change how our members approach submitting claims," commented
Paul Gillis, President and CEO of
Union Benefits, a Third-Party Administrator. "Submitting claims
easily and quickly from a mobile phone not only changes how members
will think about their insurance but keeps our firm at the
forefront of innovation as well as saving our plans money and
reducing errors."
While the new Symbility Health Mobile Claims has many advantages
for TPAs and TPPs, the real benefit will come to their employee
groups using the app. The new design puts convenience and
ease-of-use front and center. With easy to read dashboards to
monitor health benefit spending and remaining balances, the ability
to securely make claims by taking and uploading photos of receipts,
and storage for easy retrieval of health card information, there
has never been a more simplified and connected way for people to
use their health benefits.
"Sirius Benefits is excited to be able to offer our own app to
our members. It's great to see our branding on a forward thinking
tool that is so user friendly," said Ed
Melna, Owner and President of Sirius Benefit Plans Inc. "In
the past, submitting a claim seemed like a chore because of the
process and time involved. Now claims can be quickly
submitted and reviewed right from a mobile phone; our members will
certainly appreciate the improved service."
The all new Symbility Health Mobile Claims is now available for
iOS through the iTunes App Store and
Android through Google Play.
