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 TPPs 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.
