On Feb. 1, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded
a contract to Marshfield Clinic for bi-direction clinical data exchange over the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). Marshfield Clinic, acting as a Health Information Exchange for Wisconsin, selected MEDNET to implement technical specifications required to connect to NHIN.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn., MEDNET is a leader in NHIN connectivity and HIE applications and services.

This SSA service will allow Marshfield Clinic to transition from paper-based claim process to an electronic, automated claim process over the NHIN, resulting in streamlined processes and improving patient care.
