Health iPASS, a Sphere company and leading provider of digital patient engagement solutions, announces it has enabled Mastercard’s account-to-account bill pay network, Remote Payment and Presentment Service (RPPS), to help power online healthcare bill pay in the U.S, offering more secure and frictionless digital payments choice for patients and providers.

Bill payments made via paper check continue to cause friction for healthcare providers, straining their cashflow and diverting their valuable time to manual, time-intensive payment reconciliation. Likewise, data from the Federal Reserve shows that while overall check volume is on the decline, billions still use paper checks for bill payments, representing an opportunity to optimize medical bill payments in the healthcare space.

With Health iPASS Bank Bill Pay solution, powered by Mastercard RPPS, Health iPASS’ tens of thousands of US healthcare providers can now offer their patients the option to pay their medical bill(s) digitally where they already manage and pay their other bills. This complements other electronic forms of payment, catering to a segment of payors preferring to streamline their bill payments through one entity. It also avoids the need to share sensitive account details with multiple parties and minimizes check fraud.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Mastercard to help our healthcare providers get paid quickly and electronically to avoid the hassle of paper checks,” said Curtis Bauer, CEO of Health iPASS. “A costly problem for our healthcare providers is the considerable volume of their patients’ payments via offline paper checks. Adding online bank bill pay as a payment option on Health iPASS healthcare providers’ invoices will help our healthcare providers convert these unwanted checks into faster, more secure digital payments.”

“Providing a streamlined payments experience, while offering patients optionality in how they pay, continue to be critical needs for healthcare providers,” said Joseph Zeltzer, SVP, Product Management, Mastercard, North America. “Mastercard RPPS enables healthcare providers to get paid digitally through bank bill pay, reducing physical checks and ultimately improving cashflow and efficiency. We’re delighted to partner with Health iPASS to take another step towards helping solve critical payments needs for the healthcare industry.”

New technology-powered, end-to-end solution gives payers more flexibility and optimizes savings with a network of specialty pharmacies that compete on price and clinical outcomes.

Reliance Rx joins Waltz Health’s pharmacy network, bringing better prices on generic specialty medications.

Waltz Health, a digital health company developing smarter, technology-enabled ways to price, distribute and prescribe medications, today unveiled Waltz Connect, a new end-to-end solution that manages all aspects of a payer’s specialty medication coverage. It includes proprietary technology, patient engagement support, and a first-of-its-kind dynamic marketplace with a network of high-quality specialty pharmacies that compete on price, service levels, and clinical outcomes.

Waltz Connect empowers payers with unmatched transparency by unlocking competition among specialty pharmacies and is engineered to reduce specialty costs, improve member experience and deliver better member health outcomes. Its flexible design allows payers to deploy the solution across their entire specialty-drug formulary, on specific drug classes or even down to individual drugs. The solution is built on Waltz Health’s Intelligent Specialty Engine, which is an AI-enabled prescription routing software that intuitively finds the best and most-appropriate specialty pharmacy option based on specific criteria selected by each payer.

“Our novel approach layers on modern technology to bring transparency, efficiency and flexibility to specialty benefit management. For too long, the opaque and archaic structure of the traditional specialty drug supply chain has contributed to inefficiencies and misaligned incentives that have ballooned healthcare costs,” said Waltz Health Co-founder and CEO Mark Thierer. “When you bring marketplace principles to healthcare, you unlock competition on price and differentiation on experience. That’s no different in specialty drugs, which is why we’re offering a comprehensive solution that can be tailored to each payer’s unique needs and includes an entire network of specialty pharmacy partners committed to delivery savings and improved healthcare outcomes.”

The cost of specialty drugs has grown to more than $300 billion annually – up by more than 40% in just a few years – and now represents more than half of all spending on drugs in the U.S. Beyond just the high costs, the traditional process of filling specialty medications also has created frustrations for every stakeholder. Healthcare consumers often must wait weeks to get their medications; pharmacies receive prescriptions they are not able to fill; payers unnecessarily pay higher claims for the same drug; and everyone pays higher fees when another lower-cost pharmacy was an option.

Waltz Connect solves these issues by rewiring the process to make it more efficient and effective. When any specialty prescription for a member is submitted – regardless of the receiving pharmacy’s network status with the payer – the solution reroutes it to the best pharmacy option based on each member’s benefit design and a weighted list of attributes (price, turnaround time, fulfillment accuracy, members experience, adherence rates, and more). These attributes can be adjusted by drug class or specific drugs, ensuring members utilize the optimal fulfilling pharmacy with the least amount of friction.

Waltz Connect also captures all information payers need to ensure a consistent member experience including details on the member’s condition, prescription onboarding, contact details for the selected pharmacy, expected fulfillment turnaround time, number of refills and other important information. As a result, payers get more predictable pricing while their members experience less friction when filling their prescriptions.

In addition to launching Waltz Connect, Waltz Health also announced today that Reliance Rx has joined Waltz’s specialty network, providing payers with a high-performance, cost-efficient fulfillment option for generic specialty medications.

The launch of Waltz Connect marks another milestone for Waltz Health over the last year. Following its official entry into the payer, pharmacy benefit manager and self-insured employer markets, the company has launched unique deployments of its Marketplace Search technology with SCAN Health Plan and a national commercial health plan. The company also has unique versions of Marketplace Search in four national pharmacy chains with thousands of locations nationwide, generating savings on average of $5 to $10 more than other single-prescription drug-savings card solutions.

Joining the Pegasus Program, Amenities Health is set to enhance the digital healthcare experience, improving patient acquisition, retention, and brand loyalty.

Amenities Health, a leader in digital healthcare solutions, is thrilled to announce its selection for the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program. This program supports high-potential startups, empowering Microsoft’s customer base to harness cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions to enhance digital healthcare experiences and streamline operations.

In an era where the healthcare market is increasingly crowded with non-traditional players, Amenities Health stands out by offering a comprehensive digital platform that enhances patient experiences. The platform addresses key challenges in the industry, such as new patient acquisition, care scheduling, and patient retention.

“Our selection for the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program validates our commitment to creating seamless patient experiences and fostering brand loyalty,” said Dr. Aasim Saeed, Founder & CEO of Amenities Health. “With Microsoft’s support, we are well-positioned to enhance our digital platform and expand our reach, ensuring patients have easy access to high-quality, integrated healthcare services while providing a proven ROI to our partners.”

Amenities’ digital front door and patient loyalty platform was developed for healthcare systems that offer digital tools and services patients want and need. New patients can register and create a full electronic medical record (EMR) and patient portal account within seconds and immediately search for available appointments across the entire health system network. What makes Amenities’ consumer-centric technology unique is its next-available and closest-in-proximity appointment sorting feature. The platform surfaces every available appointment — including consolidating all virtual and urgent care options and in-network physicians on different EMRs. It then organizes the information based on the next available appointment, distance, types of insurance coverage accepted, etc., and enables same-day services.

The modular platform can augment current patient portals, custom mobile apps, or provide an end-to-end, white-labeled mobile solution. Moreover, Amenities offers turnkey membership programs, empowering healthcare systems to truly differentiate themselves and keep their patients loyal to their brand. This same mobile experience can also be easily embedded into health systems’ websites to maintain continuity across all digital front door channels.

Sally Ann Frank, Worldwide Lead for Health and Life Sciences, Microsoft for Startups, commented, “Amenities approach is enabling healthcare systems to meet today’s consumer expectations, similar to ecommerce and mobile banking platforms. They are dedicated to the digital healthcare experience, providing solutions that enhance patient engagement and satisfaction.”

Microsoft’s extensive healthcare system portfolio will have easy access to the Amenities platform, offering a smooth marketplace transaction.

Pioneering the future of healthcare with automated technologies to enable provider success, empower patients, and build healthier communities

Greenway Health, a leading health information technology and services provider, announced its initiative to leverage AI and automated technologies to directly address the pain points of providers, including administrative burden, staffing challenges, and clinician burnout.

“At Greenway Health, we are committed to revolutionizing healthcare through innovative technology,” said Pratap Sarker, CEO at Greenway Health. “Our latest initiatives, powered by AI and automation, directly address the critical challenges faced by healthcare providers today. By thoughtfully integrating advanced technology into a clinician’s daily life, we can ease the burden on healthcare providers, allowing them to devote more time and attention to what truly matters – their patients.”

Below are examples of thoughtful technology created by Greenway Health to seamlessly integrate into the workflows of providers and staff members, creating a more automated and operationally efficient healthcare practice:

Greenway Clinical Assist™

Greenway Clinical Assist, Greenway’s innovative ambient documentation solution, elevates the patient-provider experience with the power of AI. This innovative tool uses ambient AI technology to instantly convert speech into a provider’s clinical notes. On average, clinicians can save up to two hours per day, alleviating provider burnout and fostering stronger connections with their patients.

Greenway Patient Connect™

Greenway Patient Connect is a patient engagement portfolio designed to empower patients to self-service and reduce the workload on staff in preparing patients for care. The newest solution, powered by automated insights, is seamlessly integrated into Greenway’s EHR solutions to reduce administrative burdens and costs for healthcare providers, increase practice revenue, and dramatically improve the patient experience. 

This solution alleviates the need for healthcare staff to manually schedule, change, or cancel appointments. It recaptures lost revenue by increasing calendar utilization and filling gaps in provider schedules and reduces waiting room bottlenecks by gathering patient intake and insurance information prior to care visits. The technology improves the patient journey by allowing new and existing patients to book appointments in real time, self-manage and accept waitlist offers, and receive appointment reminders.

Greenway Document Manager™

Greenway Document Manager is a digital faxing, secure messaging, and document scanning solution that provides financial and operational benefits by significantly reducing time spent scanning paper charts and processing inbound/outbound faxes.

This solution enhances patient care by effortlessly organizing incoming information and promptly linking it to the patient’s record for improved care management. It also instantly sends encounter notes to the patient’s care team through automated faxing, ensuring a focus on personalized and attentive healthcare. Practices can experience more cost-efficient operations by eradicating the need for external servers, per-page fees, and third-party vendors, resulting in substantial savings for the healthcare organization.

Electronic Case Reporting (eCR)

Transforming manual reporting of health conditions into an efficient electronic process is crucial for advancing public health outcomes. Greenway’s Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) offers a solution to enable a seamless transition from the state/local requirements of manual burdensome case reporting to automatic electronic reporting. The new electronic solution triggers an automatic send of case reports to the appropriate public health agency. Additionally, front-office team members can reduce paperwork from 10 minutes per case report submission to zero minutes.

“At Greenway Health, our investments in generative AI and automated technologies are transforming the healthcare landscape,” said David Cohen, Chief Product and Technology Officer. “By alleviating administrative burdens, enhancing provider efficiency, and boosting patient engagement, we are streamlining the daily operations of healthcare practices. Our innovative solutions are pivotal in fostering stronger patient-provider relationships and supporting better patient outcomes. This marks a significant advancement towards a more efficient, patient-centric healthcare system.”

Greenway Health is a leading health information technology service provider specializing in electronic health records with its flagship Intergy and Prime Suite products. Greenway and its award-winning solutions have been ranked highly in the Best in KLAS awards by KLAS Research, an independent research organization that assesses healthcare vendor performance through independent feedback from users.

Topmark Partners also participated in the investment. The partnership with IGP will enable accelerated growth in key business areas while allowing CoachCare to remain founder-led.

Milestone demonstrates company’s leadership in and commitment to advancing health outcomes for underserved communities

athenahealth, Inc., a leading provider of network-enabled software and services for medical groups and health systems nationwide, today announced that it has successfully completed Uniform Data System+ (UDS+) synthetic testing as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).

Completion of UDS+ synthetic testing marks a critical milestone in athenahealth’s support for the UDS+ program, now requiring health centers to electronically submit de-identified patient data to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The Uniform Data System Modernization Initiative is transforming the existing labor-intensive submission and analysis of UDS data by streamlining the data submission process and improving patient-level insights. UDS+ can help FQHCs improve practice efficiency and make data-driven decisions, which can ultimately lead to expanding access and improved patient outcomes for the most vulnerable populations.

Submission of de-identified patient level data will be accomplished via Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) aligned with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs). More than 400 customer and partner applications leverage athenahealth’s robust library of FHIR and proprietary APIs to power their user experiences. athenahealth’s support for UDS+ leverages the more than 165,000 clinical integrations available to all athenaOne customers, including FQHCs.

“FQHCs provide care to some of the most vulnerable patient populations in the United States and we continue to invest in solutions and services that help them in that incredibly important mission. Completing UDS+ synthetic testing furthers our ability to support these health centers by ensuring they have the tools and technology needed to adhere to complex and evolving regulatory and reporting standards,” said Chad Dodd, vice president of product management at athenahealth. “Reducing the burden of regulatory changes for FQHCs allows them to focus on what matters most – improving the health of patients in need. We are committed to playing a part in enabling high-quality care in underserved communities across the country.”

FQHCs continue to be the backbone of many underserved communities and populations, with a mission to provide quality healthcare services to those who need it most. athenahealth’s technology is at the forefront of the industry supporting the nation’s FQHCs, with a fast-growing customer base of more than 12,000 FQHC providers. FQHCs can take advantage of all the features of athenaOne, athenahealth’s comprehensive suite of electronic health record (EHR), revenue cycle management (RCM), and patient engagement solutions to help support their robust needs including behavioral health, women’s health, population health, telehealth, dental, and, with this latest announcement, up-to-date reporting capabilities to meet annual UDS submission standards.
