During a recent webinar through RACmonitor.com, the director of information management and systems for the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA) provided an update on the Electronic Case Adjudication and Processing Environment (ECAPE).
 
ECAPE, which is slated to roll out to OMHA field offices by Sept. 30, is designed to increase efficiencies in the appeals process. It will help streamline and manage electronic filings, according to attorney Andrew Wachler.
 
“I think it’s going to enhance the process and the filing process,” Wachler says.
