MEDCO SERVICES AND HEALTHQRS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

MEDCO SERVICES AND HEALTHQRS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP ALLOWING HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO OFFER A CONSUMER EXPERIENCE TO PATIENTS.

 Chicago, IL- MedCo Services, Inc., a leader in Revenue Cycle Management, announced today at Becker’s Hospital Review 5th Annual Health IT + Revenue Cycle Conference its strategic partnership with HealthQRS. 

HealthQRS’ founders were the former founders of nTelagent, the first holistic retail application for point-of-service healthcare. HealthQRS was founded to create a retail healthcare platform that addresses the needs of all stakeholders in healthcare: consumers, providers, payers as well as government. HealthQRS’ retail platform allows for an “Amazon-like” shopping experience for consumers.  

As part of the partnership, MedCo will provide sales and marketing as well as customer service and helpdesk support.  The partnership will combine two highly proven revenue cycle companies intending to provide both providers and patients cutting edge technology and world class support. “Since day one we have been an IT-centric company.  A couple of years ago we recognized the need to be more consumer-focused as the healthcare industry transitions.  “We began looking for an IT solution that could complement our existing Pre-Services service line offerings.  HealthQRS does that and so much more.  We are excited to partner with HeatlhQRS and this industry changing product,” says Joe Uptain, president and CEO of MedCo.

The HealthQRS solution offers an entire online retail experience with one, easy-to-use platform. In fact, HealthQRS developed the only complete e-commerce platform for healthcare on the market. Consumers use a HealthQRS app to schedule their own appointments from their smart phones and can see actual out-of-pocket expenses before they schedule. The platform has many other modules, including scheduling, pre-registration, eligibility, verification, price estimation, charity, check-in, referral management, patient tracking and more. 

“In today’s healthcare environment, providers are being mandated to provide pricing transparency and operate on smaller margins than ever before.  Patients on the other hand, are being forced to become consumers of healthcare due to high insurance plan deductibles.  The HealthQRS platform allows providers to operate more efficiently while providing an Amazon-type experience for the patient. Our goal is a win-win for all parties,” says Earl Winter, President of HealthQRS.
