WEDI Benefits Spotlight

Here’s what our Members are saying about WEDI:

Nothing is more powerful than the ability to network and bring together new and different ideas that arise in our business and bring them together in a thoughtful presentation to others. That is what my experience has been with WEDI over the last several years as I've worked as a Team Leader and Project Manager for Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and headed up our efforts on Codes Sets. Companion Guides, and new claim forms. I have been most appreciative of the opportunities for input, for learning new ideas, and for challenging the old. Thank you for the support you have given me.

Many organizations feel totally overwhelmed by the enormous impact that HIPAA and the implementation of electronic health records have on their organization; especially those who are new to healthcare and/or find themselves just subject to the regulations. Knowing there is a wealth of practical materials, white papers, and documentation developed by a cross representation of individuals from affected organizations, experts, attorneys and other healthcare professionals gives them a degree of comfort in facing these regulatory and operational challenges. To know they are not the only ones struggling with “how to implement” is invaluable.

WEDI has helped me define and clarify new healthcare industry trends and initiatives. It provides me a way to get involved and provide input on the topics that directly affect my job. Joining a workgroup has made me understand how industry changes affects Providers, Payers, Financial Institutes and vendors and the importance of working together to develop a solution that fulfills all of our needs.
