Allegient Systems, a software and service provider, has announced the release of version 5.7 of its Expense and Performance Management Suite software system, an ASP-delivered litigation management and bill review solution for the insurance industry.

Enhancements include a new appeals module as well as a variety of functionality and performance capabilities.

Feedback on the appeal process from Allegient clients was instrumental in the changes to the appeals module, which enhances the online appeal process. Users now are able to review the appeal in context of the invoice, save draft work, and more easily communicate with the law firm regarding the overall appeal, various areas of concern, or specific line item discrepancies. Expanded navigation provides users the ability to review case matter, invoice, item, and vendor details and maintain their place in the process while responding to an appeal.

In addition to the appeals module, other 5.7 enhancements include: improved audit reports by adding navigation for multipage invoices; updates to further support the recently revised UTBMS litigation code set; and added functionality for independent adjuster bill review.

"These latest hardware and software upgrades with version 5.7 position us well to continue our market expansion," says John F. Kelly, CEO of Allegient. "The release and our new ASP platform demonstrate Allegient's continued commitment to customer satisfaction and support for rapid growth. Our capacity and performance have been increased, and the new state-of-the-art systems provide a robust foundation for increased security, availability, and expansion of our best-of-breed solutions."
