VERONA, Wis; – September 5, 2024 – Naviant, Inc., a leading provider of ABBYY and Hyland intelligent automation solutions, has announced the release of a new intelligent document processing solution, the Health Claims Accelerator. Through the new solution powered by ABBYY Vantage, health insurance providers will be able to automate the extraction of data from healthcare claims documents.

Finally, it is built with data security top-of-mind, providing robust encryption and access controls for optimal protection. With all of these gains combined, Naviant’s Health Claims Accelerator Solution will facilitate smooth communication with payers, providers, and healthcare systems.
