Blues deals help Benefitfocus platform gain traction

The nation’s the largest health care and voluntary benefits software provider recently teamed up with NASCO to burnish a technology investment made by Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans and improve CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s billing system efficiency.

The Benefitfocus platform for shopping, enrolling and managing benefits will be integrated with the back-office claims processing, membership and billing capabilities of NASCO, which several Blues plans formed 22 years ago. That partnership has resulted in more than 1 billion claims being processed.  

In related news, CareFirst expanded its use of the Benefitfocus platform with the recent implementation of eBilling. The electronic invoice presentment and payment solution enables users to securely manage and pay bills online, including multiple payment options and an ability to schedule recurring payments.
