RealMed Named Exclusive Medical Claims Clearinghouse for Physicians by Adventist Health System // 08.03.09
INDIANAPOLIS, August 3, 2009 -- RealMed announced today it has been named by Adventist Health
System as its exclusive clearinghouse for physicians. Under this partnership, Adventist Health System
will utilize RealMed's portal-based clearinghouse/Revenue Cycle Management Services to improve
Adventist Health System’s workflow, quality, timeliness, and communications with its payers.
Scott Herbst, Senior Vice President at RealMed stated, “With our expertise in revenue cycle management
solutions, we’re excited and committed to work with Adventist Health System to drive greater efficiencies
into their payment processes. RealMed’s unique combination of technology and our leading customer
support model allows our providers to maximize their revenue, lower their operating costs, and increase
their productivity. Proof of our outstanding reputation is being ranked #1 in the June 2009 KLAS Managing
the Claim and Getting Paid: Ambulatory Clearinghouse Services Report. Adventist Health System joins
our growing list of payers and providers who have maximized their revenue through our cost-effective and
enhanced productivity solutions.”
According to Tim Reiner, Senior Revenue Officer at Adventist Health System, “We chose RealMed
because its subscription covers many of our practices’ key Revenue Management services at a
reasonable monthly price. They have a true software as a service model. RealMed’s functionality sets it
apart, having interactive pre-submission claim eligibility, EDI claim tracking through multiple dispositions
in the payers’ adjudication cycle, and the unique payer integration with key national and regional payers in
our market. RealMed is head and shoulders above their competing clearinghouses because they
integrate with our Electronic Practice Management system for batch eligibility, automated claim file
transmission, and automatic interface of claim changes. Through our partnership with RealMed, we
expect to lower our days in AR and avoid costly delays and denials.”
