The Healthcare IT Innovation Awards are given in nine categories four of which are devoted to insurer-based offerings. Hundreds of senior executives attending this year's Summit completed confidential ballots to select the award winners after previewing and learning about new products and services in private boardroom appointments.

"We are honored to have received this recognition from some of the premier business and technology leaders in the healthcare space," said Ray Desrochers, COO of HealthEdge. "Winning this award is a powerful validation of our strategy and vision, and a clear indication of the excitement that we are seeing related to some of our newest product offerings. The first-of-its-kind Benefit Predictor capability that was demonstrated at this year's conference is now included as a standard part of HealthRules Payor. It provides HealthEdge clients with a significant competitive advantage related to both transparency and customer service by enabling them to quickly and easily answer even the most complex benefit questions from their members and providers. Similarly, our demonstrated compliance with the new ICD-10 standard, and our unique ability to seamlessly and simultaneously process both ICD-9 and ICD-10 claims, allows our customers to immediately enjoy all of the advantages of this new industry standard without having to make costly configuration changes or endure time consuming data conversions.
