We're extremely pleased to announce that Fortune 100 Aetna Inc., the nation’s leading diversified health care benefits company with over 36 million customers, has chosen EchoSign as its company-wide enterprise solution to automate its paperless contracting process.
Aetna carefully examined the vendors in the electronic signature landscape, and quickly chose EchoSign for its ease of use and industry leadership.
Excerpts from Aetna's press release, and the full release, below.
“By implementing the industry’s first electronic contracting solution, we expect to decrease contract processing time from three weeks to one day on average. Aetna and participating physicians, hospitals and other health care facilities will also have significant savings in paper and postage,” says Paul Marchetti, head of Aetna’s National Networks and Contracting Services. “We continue to make it easier for health care professionals to do business with us, and we are helping create a healthier environment.”
Using EchoSign™ eSignature solution, Aetna’s paperless contracting process meets compliance, legal and security requirements. The electronic signature service provides a convenient, online audit trail for all contract processes and real-time visibility into the contract management process. It provides protection for both the sender and the signer during the signing process, including key authentication and privacy, fraud protection, and consumer disclosure. It is legally tested and trusted.
Electronic contracting is the newest among Aetna’s suite of electronic tools and capabilities designed to help health care professionals reduce administrative burdens and save money. Currently, approximately 74 percent of Aetna’s total transactions with health care providers are electronic. Aetna continues to invest in e-technology and introduce new service offerings that directly help physicians succeed – and limit environmental impact.
We're also pleased to be a key part of Aetna's green and paperless office initiatives.
