A managed care company giant says it will use the Web to give doctors and plan members reimbursement and patient billing information almost instantaneously.
UnitedHealthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth Group Inc., Minnetonka, Minn., says it has posted a link to a service that can adjudicate claims online, in less than 10 seconds, at Document Link
The service can apply the terms of a doctor's network contract and a patient's plan, then determine how much the plan will pay the doctor and how much the patient will owe the doctor while a patient is still in the doctor's office.
