APS Teams With Skywire Software

Skywire Software (Frisco, Texas), a provider of software and services to the insurance industry, announced that APS Workflow (Chesterfield, Mo.) has joined the Insurance Data Exchange (IDX) hub. IDX is a centralized data hub for processing life and fixed annuities in the insurance industry. With the agreement, insurance companies will have access to a streamlined, automated system for obtaining the medical records needed to approve life and health insurance applications.

APS Workflow offers an online technology solution that allows insurance companies to procure attending physician statements (APS) directly from health providers, eliminating the need for third-party procurement services, according to a press release. APS Workflow provides a workflow and billing system to let insurers and agencies retrieve existing medical records for an applicant. The integration with IDX allows subscribers to place the order electronically via Skywire Software's GA Agency Management System or another third-party agency management system, and allows the resulting attending physician's statement to flow seamlessly among agencies and carriers.
