MZI HealthCare showcases EZ-CAP v6.0 health administration software at the 19th UCON 2009

MZI HealthCare, LLC (MZIHC), a leading provider of health benefit administration software, today showcased EZ-CAP v6.0 at its 19^th Annual User Conference (UCON) 2009, held October 11-14 in Newport Beach, California. The annual conference has been extended to two-and-a-half days of industry specific educational sessions—including demos and actual user experiences with v6.0—and one-on-one training with EZ-CAP experts.

EZ-CAP is a comprehensive solution that helps payers and provider organizations manage the complexities of health benefit administration, automate claims and other health care transactions, and oversee financial and medical management. Building upon its expertise and leadership in this arena, EZ-CAP v6.0 now offers a .NET platform to provide a truly browser-based environment. As a result, the system looks and feels like a Web page with easy-to-use hyperlinks and ‘point and click’ capabilities. The .NET platform utilizes XML Web services, an open standard that will improve data sharing and software integration for EZ-CAP clients.

“With this powerful system, customers can more easily manage today’s increasingly complex health benefits and we have already added five new v6.0 clients since its release,” said Gail Saitzyk, senior vice president at MZIHC. “In today’s tough economy with rising health care costs, it’s more important than ever to streamline administration. EZ-CAP provides savings in core operations.”

With electronic workflow, auto adjudication capability, system interoperability, and open architecture, EZ-CAP delivers greater value than any other system on the market. In fact, 60 percent of customers have used EZ-CAP for more than 10 years. This means a client’s ‘total cost of ownership’ is very low, with EZ-CAP delivering ongoing return on investment through system longevity, operational efficiency, staff optimization, and reduced costs.

The theme of this year’s UCON event is ‘Accelerating Your Future’ with EZ-CAP v6.0. The new system provides the following key benefits to users:
