Data Services
In the early 1990's a dream was born to reduce cost and denials in healthcare by creating a platform to submit claim data in healthcare. What if instead of providers and payers sending and receiving claim and billing data, it could happen electronically? A standard for just such a method for healthcare was created using Electronic Data Interchange, or "EDI."
The EDI Health Care Claim Transaction set (EDI 837) is used to submit health care claim billing information, encounter information, or both. It can be sent from providers of healthcare services to payers, either directly or via intermediary billers and claims clearinghouses.
The EDI 835 transaction set is called Health Care Claim Payment and Remittance Advice. ... The 835 is used primarily by Healthcare insurance plans to make payments to healthcare providers, to provide Explanations of Benefits (EOBs), or both.
Research & Development Tax Credits
💡 Unlock Hidden Cash Flow with R&D Tax Credits
Many companies don’t realize that the work they’re already doing — process improvements, data analytics, software builds, product enhancements, even system automation — may qualify for federal and state R&D tax credits.
Working with companies like Research by Design (RBD), we have learned to help businesses identify and document these qualifying activities to maximize their credits while staying fully compliant with IRS standards.
Whether you’re developing a new healthcare data tool, refining internal reporting systems, or creating custom automation, your team’s time, wages, and contractor costs could generate tens of thousands of dollars in refundable credits.
✅ We handle:
-
Eligibility analysis and credit quantification
-
Documentation and substantiation (IRS-ready)
-
Coordination with your CPA or tax preparer
-
Multi-year lookback opportunities
As both a CPA and CFO of RBD, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these credits can be for companies trying to scale, invest, and innovate.
If you’re wondering whether your projects qualify, let’s have a quick conversation — it costs nothing to find out, and the upside can be substantial.
