Case Study: Hunterdon Medical Center achieves centralized, automated claims processing and improved reimbursement with NextGen Healthcare

New Jersey nonprofit reaps centralized claims, reimbursement rewards across 50 locations

Hunterdon Healthcare System, a New Jersey nonprofit with 50 sites, 17 specialties and 1,300 users, needed a compatible clearinghouse after adopting NextGen Ambulatory EHR and Practice Management. Their challenge was to centralize claims processing across many locations, improve reimbursement results, and replace a prior vendor that lacked reliable functionality and reporting.

They implemented NextGen Clearinghouse fully integrated with their NextGen EHR/PM, using automated nightly claim builds and an Automator that uploads files seconds after completion. The result was a centralized claims center, cleaner claims and faster processing across all specialties, improved reimbursement, a user-friendly dashboard, and responsive platinum-level support.
