Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield in New Jersey has implemented a new application programming interface from technology company Andros.
The latest API is intended to be a faster alternative to the manual credentialing processes used by payers, providers and telehealth platforms, which can sometimes take months to complete, according to an Aug. 3 news release.
"With use of an API, andros is going to improve our efficiency and give us, and our participating physicians and health care professionals, real-time insights and transparency into the status of applications," said Howard Cutler, Horizon BCBS' vice president of healthcare delivery.
