Standardizing Electronic Information Exchange and Reducing Costs

Linxus strives to be the premier regional innovator in the New York health care market for payer-provider transaction processing. It does so by identifying best practices along with business and technical solutions and by promoting increased utilization of the administrative transaction code sets under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

As a participant sponsored program, Linxus emphasizes collaboration in developing requirements for standards-based electronic healthcare data exchange, while preserving the option for all Information Technology purchasing decisions to remain with individual participating organizations.

Linxus emphasizes collaboration as the means for all participants to realize full business value from the implementation of transactions.
