Atlantic is able to provide this service by utilizing the sophisticated web based claims system, iHCFA.com, a system which notifies Atlantic Providers almost immediately when the claim is missing information required to process and pay it. Atlantic provides Claims personnel with web access the ability to view any claim, report or supporting documentation or status directly at their desktop and print what they are viewing.

Atlantic provides a full range of diagnostic imaging procedures including MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Nuclear Medicine and Bone Scans. Atlantic is a full service management services organization providing Network Access, NCQA Credentialing and Pre-Funded Claims Payment.

Atlantic customizes and arranges for its clients’ Diagnostic Radiology products and services either carved out or combined within their healthcare benefits. Through initiatives similar to New Jersey’s Auto Insurance Reduction Act of 1998, Atlantic is assisting auto carriers who have turned to Atlantic for their experience and guidance using American College of Radiology (ACR) based national protocols for the management of Diagnostic Radiology.

Atlantic utilizes a select network of credentialed Diagnostic Radiology providers who have undergone a rigorous credentialing process by MedCheck® Credentialing Services, a fully accredited National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Credentials Verification Organization (CVO).

It is responsible for addressing:

  • Quality of care issues.
  • Credentialing oversite.
  • Submission of “clean claims” and reports saving tremendous time for case managers.
