Application Programming Interface (API) is a free digital solution that allows health care professionals to automate administrative transactions. This option is best for organizations that have the technical resources to implement and maintain APIs.

API is designed to help your organization improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase cash flow. Phone calls and paper handling decrease, while contributing to a smoother workflow with fewer interruptions. Automatic data feeds are created to pull information on a timetable you set, and transfer the data to and from your practice management system, proprietary software, portal, spreadsheets or any application you prefer.
UnitedHealthcare has done an amazing job of providing documentation, resources and qualified people in their API department. As some companies do not even have a test environment or support, UnitedHealthcare has exceeded any expectations.
Love the API claim status service. Claim status programs that used to take us 5 hours over 2 days to run, now takes about 20 minutes to run the same transaction and get the same data. We will be seeking additional API services with UnitedHealthcare.
API requires technical programming to exchange data in an automated fashion. The implementation will require coordination with either your IT department, software vendor or clearinghouse to set up the API service. We have a business and technical team ready to support you through each step of the implementation process, including post-production. Our team will schedule onboarding meetings to support you through testing to production.
