Health Insurance Casework System (HICS)

Complaint Tracking Module (CTM)

This module integrates with BAM and is designed as an appeal and grievance management software for Medicare plans, to manage and process complaints filed with CMS. CTM provides the tracking and resolution of complaints and issues rather than just a “get next” method.

Workbaskets

Automating the workflow to push and pull, Workbaskets auto-assign cases (appeals or grievances) using a queuing logic method rather than the standard functionality in BAM.
