Which was implemented to reduce provider costs and cycle time by minimizing and eventually eliminating paper processing and mailing of medical documentation to review contractors, and to reduce costs and time for review contractors?

The implementation referred to in the question is esMD, which stands for electronic Submission of Medical Documentation. This system was specifically developed to streamline the process of submitting medical documentation electronically, thereby reducing the reliance on traditional paper-based methods. By minimizing or eliminating the mailing of documentation, esMD helps decrease administrative costs and cycle times for healthcare providers and review contractors alike.

The esMD system facilitates quicker and more efficient communication, ensuring that necessary documentation can be submitted and reviewed in a more timely manner. This not only enhances the operational efficiency within healthcare organizations but also improves overall patient care by expediting claims processing and reducing delays in necessary approvals.

The other options represent distinct initiatives or systems focused on different aspects of healthcare data exchange and management, but do not specifically address the goal of minimizing paper processing and mailing as effectively as esMD does.
