Document Imaging

ESIS' imaging initiative provides a fully paperless environment to our customers. Our imaging system utilizes an electronic document storage and retrieval system that gives claims adjusters and other claims staff quicker access to file information, enabling them to accurately respond to your needs in a timelier manner and enhance their file management capabilities. This initiative also enables clients to view any and all documentation pertaining to a claim file instantaneously through Global RiskAdvantage^®.

OMNI

ESIS’ proprietary OMNI claim system enables our adjusters to perform each of the tasks required for top tier claim handling services, including registering claims, creating notes, assigning diaries and task reminders to the file, making reserve and payment transactions, and accessing client-specific claim handling specifications.

Various electronic inbound and outbound data exchanges are available within OMNI, significantly decreasing our data entry requirements while increasing accuracy and streamlining workflows and processes. These exchanges include the following:

• Electronic First Notice of Loss is received via EDI from our intake vendors, allowing most claim registration screens to be pre-filled
• OMNI automatically sends acknowledgement/disposition notices via email from Global RiskAdvantage^® when claims are registered and closed
• Central Index Bureau inquiries are automatically generated for all new claims registered
• Feeds are directly received from medical bill review repricers for medical bills and invoices, along with Explanation of Payments to ensure accurate and timely payment
• Legal bill review services provide upfront legal bill adjudication, automatically feeding and paying approved legal bills

The OMNI claims adjudication system utilizes an elaborate trigger system derived from the claim handling instructions developed within ESIS' Service Activity System. These triggers effectively prompt the adjuster for action when claim milestones are reached or if the adjuster’s activity meets the criteria established in the claim handling instructions.

ESIS’ clients access the information stored in OMNI through Global RiskAdvantage^®, which is a proprietary application and is the premier browser-based, thin client application on the market.
