Newtn Digital has launched a platform to streamline ordering, documentation and claims processes for durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers.
The new system, announced by Austin, Texas-based company, connects healthcare providers, physicians and DME suppliers “through a secure workflow that reduces paperwork, improves documentation accuracy and helps accelerate reimbursement,” the company said in a June 22 announcement.
“DME transactions often require multiple forms, signatures and manual handoffs between providers and suppliers,” Newtn Digital added. “Missing information and incomplete documentation can delay claims, increase administrative work, create unnecessary costs and elevate compliance risk. Manual processes also increase the potential for documentation errors and HIPAA-related privacy and security vulnerabilities.”
The new platform makes the process entirely paperless while using HIPAA-compliant workflows and automated patient demographic capture from electronic health record (EHR) systems. Newtn Digital said the platform also captures digital physician and patient signatures from any device, reduces claim denials and documentation errors, and speeds up the claims submission and reimbursement processes.
The system enhances security by using encrypted data transmission and role-based access controls, and Newtn Digital pointed out that the platform achieved “SOC 2 Type II certification demonstrating adherence to rigorous security and compliance standards.”
“The shift toward digital documentation is no longer a future initiative for healthcare organizations,” the company said in the announcement. “Providers and suppliers are looking for practical ways to improve efficiency, reduce risk and prepare for evolving industry requirements. Solutions that connect stakeholders and improve information flow will play an increasingly important role in that transition.”
