Ontrak Health Achieves Unprecedented Efficiency and Cost Savings with Axiom Systems TransSend Core EDI Gateway

Ontrak Health (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled healthcare company, announced today the successful deployment of the Axiom Systems TransSend Core EDI Gateway, a cutting-edge solution that simplifies the process of managing electronic data interchange (EDI) exchanges with trading partners while complying with federal requirements and best practices in the industry.

The TransSend Core EDI Gateway helps Ontrak Health optimize its HIPAA compliance and performance by enabling faster, cheaper, and more accurate data transactions for its providers and health plan customers.

The results of the deployment are impressive. In August 2023 alone, Ontrak Health successfully processed over 52 million claim data transactions. Extrapolating this data into a full year, Ontrak Health estimates that it will process well over half-a-billion claim data transactions with the TransSend Core EDI Gateway in support of new AI-data pipeline processes that have reduced legacy turn-around-times for prospective and current customer workloads from up to 8 days to just a matter of hours. In addition, Ontrak has realized savings of over 80% in annual data pipeline maintenance costs.

“The TransSend Core EDI Gateway is a game-changer for us. It not only simplifies and automates our EDI workflows, but also enables us to leverage advanced analytics and AI to identify and engage members who need our care the most. It’s a vital component of our digital transformation strategy that aims to deliver better outcomes for our members and customers. We are very pleased with the results of the deployment and look forward to continuing our partnership with Axiom Systems,” commented Arik Hill, Ontrak Health’s Chief Information Officer.

“The TransSend Core EDI Gateway has been instrumental in improving our data quality and integrity. It has reduced errors, rejections, and delays in our data transactions, resulting in faster and more accurate AI-based member identification, outreach, engagement, and behavioral healthcare provider access. The TransSend Core EDI Gateway has given us a competitive edge in the market,” added Esteban Nell, Ontrak Health’s Vice President of Member & Production Data Operations.

“We are proud to partner with Ontrak Health, a leading behavioral health company that is transforming the health care journey for people with complex physical, mental and social care needs. Our TransSend Core EDI Gateway is designed to meet the needs of healthcare organizations like Ontrak Health, who require a flexible, scalable, and reliable solution to manage their EDI transactions. We congratulate Ontrak Health on their successful deployment and look forward to supporting their growth and innovation,” said Richard Howe, CEO of Axiom Systems.
