WPS Health Insurance Improves The Claims Experience With Cincom Eloquence

Worldwide software provider Cincom Systems announces that WPS Health Insurance, one of Wisconsin's largest health insurers (www.wpsic.com), has successfully implemented Cincom Eloquence (www.cincom.com/cds) document automation software and is now realizing significant improvements in the speed, quality and relevancy of correspondence to its over nine million customers.

"With claims processing within our TRICARE division exceeding 58 million claims annually, streamlining document generation is a critical factor in improving the overall claims experience for our customers as well as reducing our operational costs," said Mary Seiler, Vice President of TRICARE Customer Service, WPS Health Insurance. "Cincom Eloquence was the right choice ? satisfying both our customer-satisfaction and business needs." Cincom worked with Human Factors International (global experts in the area of user-centered design) to design Cincom Eloquence's user interface for maximum ease of use. The end goal was to speed time-to-market by moving template development out of the hands of overburdened IT resources and onto the desktops of business users. Now with Cincom Eloquence, WPS' business users leverage the familiar features, content-editing, and formatting capabilities of embedded Microsoft Word to quickly develop, test and preview document models directly within the design environment with minimal IT involvement.

"An element within our customer satisfaction initiatives was providing our customer service representatives with the ability to easily generate personalized correspondence in real time," said Laura Prey, Project Manager, WPS Health Insurance. "Cincom Eloquence met our requirements." WPS' customer service representatives now have ‘point-and-click' access to a central repository of pre-approved document templates developed with pre-configured workflows that easily guide the assembly and generation of claims-related correspondence in real time. "Having real-time, interactive generation capability at the point of need has helped us improve the relevancy of our claims correspondence while increasing productivity," added Prey.

"We are pleased that WPS Health Insurance has chosen Cincom Eloquence to help them fulfill their commitment to providing the very best claims experience to their customers," said Pat Dowling, managing director of sales for Cincom. "Cincom Eloquence is a perfect solution for insurers looking for a cost-effective way to enhance the claims experience through more accurate, timely and relevant document communications."
