Enrollment Solutions

Accepting member enrollment information is labor-intensive and error-prone. Group enrollment files are often difficult to load, resulting in errors or manual entry. The Smart Data Solutions Benefit Enrollment Maintenance (BEM) Editor eliminates these problems, resulting in automated, accurate, and timely benefit loads.

Whether you are receiving your enrollments as electronic, paper, or a mix of both, Smart Data Solutions has the tools and solutions needed to accept, scrub, and deliver the information you need in the format you need it in.

Enrollment Solutions

Paper Capture

Enrollment applications come in all shapes and sizes.  Some payers have a single-page enrollment form while others may have a 15-page packet.  Regardless of the size, this information needs to be accurately captured and converted to a usable format.  Smart Data Solutions can capture your enrollment forms and can even help you develop new enrollment form layouts to further streamline the process.

Enrollment Solutions

File Format Conversion

Although the 834 is the most commonly used format for this information, many employer groups lack the tools needed to create an 834 themselves.  This results in the groups creating and sending data in whatever format they can. There is seemingly no limit to the different ways enrollment data is submitted by employer groups. Regardless of whether it’s flat files, spreadsheets, CSV files, delimited files, XML, fixed-width, or anything else, Smart Data Solutions can accept, consolidate, and deliver the data in a single normalized stream.  

Enrollment Solutions

Full File vs. Change File Conversion

When it comes to full files or change files, at the end of the day, you need to work with the formats your systems are able to accept and process.  No matter if you are receiving full files, change files, or a mix of both, Smart Data Solutions can receive these varied formats and convert them to the desired outcome. We can screen full files against prior submitted information, consolidating to just a single change file.  Likewise, we can accumulate information from change files and convert it to a regular full file. Regardless of how the information was submitted, you receive exactly what you need as the end result.

Enrollment Solutions

PCP Assignment

Our customized enrollment solutions don’t just stop at converting the applications.  Many of our payers have integrated their Primary Care Provider (PCP) assignment directly into our enrollment process.  Using your business rules along with the location and provider information, Smart Data Solutions can identify the correct PCP and assign it to the member automatically.

Focus on What's Important

By outsourcing the front-end component of your enrollment intake your staff can focus on other areas and business needs.  With a Smart Data Solutions hosted data capture solution, there is no need to hire temp workers during your open enrollment periods to handle the incoming surge of applications.  Your analysts will no longer need to convert or enter employee files submitted manually. Eliminating these problem areas help keep you and your staff focused on your core competencies, new products, or additional growth opportunities.
