PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eldorado (ELDORADO), a division of MphasiS, an HP Company and a leading provider of health benefit and claims management platforms, today announced that American Postal Workers Union Health Plan (APWUHP), the fourth-largest national health insurance plan in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, serving more than 84,000 postal, retirees and their families, went live with ELDORADO’s state-of-the-art Javelina^TM solution. The plan, which is part of American Postal Workers Union (APWU), is using the browser-based system to improve claim and benefit administration, increase employee productivity, reduce administrative costs and enhance operational efficiencies.

“The implementation was seamless,” said Rocky Midgett, chief operating manager at APWU. “The go-live is a critical milestone for us, helping APWUHP to ensure accurate and consistent application of claims payment policies while accelerating the speed of reimbursement. ELDORADO worked closely with us to make sure Javelina met the plan’s rigorous criteria for accuracy, speed, agility and flexibility.”

Before Javelina, Midgett explained, it was difficult for APWUHP to quickly and easily change benefit plan design, respond to dynamic market and regulatory developments, and integrate software applications due to a cumbersome claims and benefit management system. “Javelina’s robustness, scalability, configurability and Service-Oriented Architecture platform enable us to become more agile, improve business performance, facilitate exchange of information between disparate systems, reduce the total cost of ownership, and enhance services to members and physicians,” he added.

“We are excited to be an integral part of APWUHP’s success in navigating today’s complex healthcare and business challenges,” said Tom Castleberry, Vice Chairman of ELDORADO.
