Shuffling paper and counting beans makes insurance companies money 6-7% of all the paper they shuffle, and beans they count.

I setup and fix those medical / practice management systems and the continual changes and updates that must be applied just for regulatory changes cost thousands per year at the practice level. Would be good to simplify that small cost of a business. There are a lot of hoops the practice runs thru just to formulate the paperwork to the INS co's whims and desire.
