SwitchComm is a windows based communication program used by DHSwitch clients as a mechanism to transmit claims and to receive feedback reports on the status of these claims. SwitchComm makes use of Telkom’s ViP-Dialup network. ViP-Dialup uses a single telephone number and calls are billed at local rates regardless of their origin.
SwitchComm includes SwitchViewer that provides the functionality to either view or print feedback reports and Electronic Remittance Advices. Feedback reports detail the status of claims submitted to medical aids through the switch and are a valuable claims management aid.
