Weyco, Inc., a third-party administrator based in Okemos, Mich, today announced the selection of Plexis Healthcare Systems as the provider of the organization’s claims administration, EDI, and Web application software.

(PRWEB) May 13, 2005 -- “TPAs are finding that the cost of doing business continues to increase for even the most fiscally responsible administrator,” said Gary Climes, Weyco’s chief operating officer. “Employers, employees, doctors and health-care organizations expect more and better access to health information, and that is what our partnership with Plexis Healthcare System and TPABenefits provides.

“The partnership between our two companies will increase Weyco’s ability to serve its customers by improving our benefits administration and claims processing capabilities,” said Climes.

Founded in 1979, Weyco administers medical, dental, vision, prescription, disability, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and COBRA benefits for its clients and participants. Today, Weyco serves approximately 250 client organizations and their 175,000 employees and dependents. These clients have a combination of fully insured and self-funded products and services.

Plexis was one of 10 different vendors evaluated during Weyco's selection process. Weyco’s selection of Plexis was based on several objectives, including the provision of web-based access for clients, providers and patients; the capacity to support one million patient lives; automated claims adjudication; flexible rules engine; the ability to provide detailed, client-specific reports; and the ability to integrate and share data with other systems and databases, both internally and externally.
