Add-Ons

Health Insurance Casework System (HICS)

Designed for commercial insurers to support the HICS process, this workflow provides the tracking and resolution of complaints and issues related to the health plan (e.g., identity verification, eligibility determinations, or appeals).

Complaint Tracking Module (CTM)

This module integrates with BAM and is designed 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.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Also known as robotics or bots, this add-on feature imitates human actions, improving quality and reducing redundancy in business processes.
