Simplify Data Exchange Between Carriers and Oracle HCM Cloud

Written by Kerry Farhadi | Oct 8, 2021 4:00:00 AM

Deploying the Benefits Module in Oracle’s HCM Cloud ensures tight integrations between Core HR, payroll and benefits enrollment data across your health, wellness, and financial benefits offerings. However, it does not automatically integrate with your benefits providers, which can lead to some challenges for organizations.

One challenge is that carriers have proprietary formats, requiring unique and complex mapping of data. This becomes a burden, as it is time-consuming to write custom applications for each file to be sent to each carrier or administrator. There is also the financial impact of maintaining an internal IT department or partnering with outsourced programmers to manage the data exchange, as well as devoting resources to learn and understand multiple carriers’ or administrators’ proprietary formats. These proprietary formats have a deeper impact than many realize, as even “standard” HIPAA 834 formats have carrier-specific implementations.​

To solve these challenges, you need a simple, secure and cost-effective solution for sending employee benefits enrollment and eligibility data to carriers and administrators.
