Athena Software's Electronic Billing (EDI) Module Approved for State Medicaid Submissions

February 20, 2007

Athena Software's Penelope Case Management and Counseling Software (CMS) system recently received approval as an accredited software vendor for submitting electronic billing claims (x837 professional) to Medicaid Idaho and Medicaid North Dakota with approval from Medicaid Virginia pending. The ability to submit claims electronically to Medicaid directly has a number of advantages for Penelope's social service clients; they can greatly reduce the number of denials/ rejections from Medicaid, increase the speed at which claims are processed, approved (and paid!) and increase the efficiency of valuable administration time in the preparation of the claims with Penelope's unique and effective electronic claims processing (EDI) module.
