MedeAnalytics Patient Access Services (PAS) Solution Provides Integrated Financial Clearance and Front-end Intelligence for Hospitals

Rising level of uninsured and patient payment obligations have put increased pressure on hospitals to maximize up-front cash collections and improve charity screening

EMERYVILLE, Calif., November 5, 2009 —MedeAnalytics, a leading provider of healthcare performance management solutions, announced the launch of its Patient Access Services (PAS) solution at HFMA’s Fall Revenue Cycle Strategies Conference today in Chicago, Ill.

The solution is a web-based workflow application that provides real-time intelligence during the patient registration process. Directly integrated with key hospital information systems, PAS includes patient payment estimation, charity care screening, address validation, risk segmentation and insurance eligibility verification capabilities combined into one simple interface designed for front-end staff. PAS also leverages a variety of third-party data sources and predictive modeling techniques to automatically segment patients prior to service and prompt registrars for appropriate action using customized business rules and logic.

“Our hospital clients are focused on collecting patient payments and fixing registration problems early in the revenue cycle, prior to patient discharge,” said Mike Gallagher, chief executive officer of MedeAnalytics. “PAS provides one integrated solution to manage the entire financial clearance process.”

Healthcare providers face a wide variety of challenges in the patient access area, including fragmented IT systems, manual paperwork and high staff turnover. The MedeAnalytics PAS solution helps automate this process and integrates meaningful analytics and business intelligence into the front-end workflow.
