MedCom USA, Inc. Targets New Jersey Medical Providers to Provide System for Reading New Medicaid Health Benefits Card

MedCom USA, Inc., a leading provider of HIPAA-compliant dental, healthcare and financial transaction solutions, is beginning to expand its market share by providing medical and dental providers in the State of New Jersey the desktop solution for obtaining Verification of Eligibility for Medicaid patients.

It was recently announced that the State of New Jersey has implemented a test in three counties to provide Healthcare Benefits Identification Cards to its Medicaid clients. These cards have a magnetic stripe that will include the pertinent benefit and patient information that a provider can use to submit correct claims. The State is distributing 170,000 cards in the first round to three counties: Monmouth, Sussex, and Camden. The remaining 18 counties will begin receiving their cards in August.

According to Bill Williams, CEO, “The MedCom System Terminal is already programmed to read the magnetic stripe included on this card. It is a low-cost easy-to- implement solution for Providers to use throughout the state. We are starting an information campaign immediately to make these Medical and Dental offices aware of how the MedCom System can meet their needs in verifying Medicaid coverage in seconds. The MedCom System is uniquely positioned to expand this market due to its capacity to read consumer information and data cards beyond simple credit and debit cards. This capacity includes Health Savings Account Cards, Medicaid Cards and other health benefit cards with magnetic strips.”

The MedCom System provides real-time electronic benefit verification to over 450 payers and plans through its proprietary MedCom Connect portal and MedCom System Terminal. The system provides additional electronic healthcare transaction features including claims submission, referrals, service authorizations and claims status.
