The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC), in partnership with ZeOmega, Inc., has launched a network solution to automate prior authorization and streamline clinical data exchange for quality measurement among Massachusetts health plans and providers.
This initiative expands upon MHDC's longstanding New England Healthcare Exchange Network (NEHEN) service, which currently supports claims, eligibility, and referral transactions. The upgraded network now incorporates Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) APIs to enable real-time, automated prior authorization and clinical data exchange through a single connection.
