KLAS Recognizes Office Ally as One of the Nation's Top Clearinghouses in the Medical Industry

KLAS, one of the best-known and most widely respected healthcare research firms, has rated Office Ally one of the nation's top two clearinghouses, according to a just-issued comprehensive report on the medical industry. Office Ally is the only organization in the country offering healthcare providers a full suite of revenue-cycle management services.

For the second year in a row, Office Ally received a perfect 100 percent score in "promise keeping," and 100 percent of its clients said that they would buy from Office Ally again. Overall, Office Ally was the highest of all firms surveyed in eight critical categories including overall client satisfaction, top value, and workflow tools and capabilities.

In preparing the report, KLAS spoke with 753 providers in an effort to understand how their clearinghouse services are performing, the quality of the tools given to them, and how clearinghouses assisted with the 5010 migration. "While ambulatory clearinghouse services are becoming more commoditized, key areas of differentiation in the market still exist-primarily in service, offered tool-set functionality, and ability to maintain hih performance during regulatory changes," the report said. It then cited Office Ally for being "among the best with both top-tier service and highly rated claims-management tools."

Specifically, the KLAS report singled out Office Ally as the top-rated vendor for workflow tools and capabilities. Office Ally was also rated the highest among the 14 companies surveyed for online claims editing, allowable attachments, secondary insurance processing, contracting experience, real problem resolution and overall satisfaction. And it was one of only two companies to receive a perfect 100 percent score when clients were asked "Would you buy from this company again "

"We are honored to receive this high ranking from KLAS and are grateful to our clients for the trust and confidence they have placed in us through the years," said Brian O'Neill, president and chief executive officer of Office Ally. "We are especially happy that KLAS has recognized the efforts we put in place to constantly improve and to make sure that our provider clients are fully prepared for the latest requirements, such as the 5010 migration."
