HOSPITALS GAIN INCOME VERIFICATION FOR COMPLETION OF MEDICAID APPLICATIONS THROUGH RAMP®
UC HEALTH UNIVERISTY HOSPITAL ANNOUNCES CONTRACT WITH R&B SOLUTIONS TO OBTAIN AUTOMATED INCOME VERIFICATION FOR COMPLETION OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS
Waukegan, IL and Cincinnati, OH - UC Health University Hospital signs with R&B Solutions, Health Care Division, RAMP® (Rapid Application Management Program) software solution to get instant income verification for use of Medicaid and other government programs.
“One of the real solutions in health care is leveraging technology for greater productivity,” said Dennis A. Brebner, CEO of R&B Solutions. New health care directives by President Obama’s administration are focusing attention on the need to streamline enrollment and the eligibility process, particularly for the 46 million uninsured in the United States. R&B Solutions, Health Care Divisions product RAMP® (Rapid Application for Medical Programs) is a copyrighted and trademarked solution designed to automate the screening and form/application process for Medicaid, Crime Victims Assistance, Section 1011, Hospital Charity Programs, and any other financial assistance government programs. As a leader in healthcare and community care, UC Health looked at streamlining the screening process and selected RAMP® in 2005.
Employment verification, income verification, and income tax information are necessary and required data for determining Medicaid and other public program eligibility, as well as for Hospital and other Health Care institution’s charity care programs. In September 2010, R&B Solutions announced the integration of Equifax’s The Work Number and IRS tax transcripts into RAMP®.
Until this integration, hospitals often had to rely on the patient and/or their employer to provide income verification through a manual process to complete their application. With the integration between The Work Number for instant employment and income verifications, as well as the IRS tax transcript service, into RAMP®, hospitals will now have a truly automated screening tool, helping to increase efficiencies and productivity, and decrease application time, which yields increased reimbursement.
UC Health is synonymous with the concept of community benefit and the new income verification feature in RAMP® allows them to continue to improve the health of the community by providing quality, comprehensive healthcare in a compassionate, culturally competent, ethical and fiscally responsible manner. Together, R&B Solutions (RAMP®) and University Hospital assist the greater Cincinnati area uninsured and under-insured patient population.
