- State-of-the-art
technology will enable physicians
and hospitals to process credit card
and ACH transactions via PMS integration
or Portal solutions. This technology
not only addresses the shift to private
pay revenue in the front office but
also post adjudication balances in
the back office -
DALLAS and SOMERSET (July
7, 2006) — TRANSFIRST
Health Services, Inc. a division of
TRANSFIRST HOLDINGS, INC., a leading
provider of credit card processing
services and payment enabling technologies,
and INFOTECH GLOBAL, INC., (“IGI”),
a premier service and solution provider
to the healthcare industry serving
physicians, hospitals, system vendors
and payers, today announced a partnership
that will provide IGI customers with
credit card and ACH processing capabilities.
The partnership will link the TRANSFIRST
payment processing system to IGI’s
vendor, provider and payer applications
improving efficiency and work flow
in provider offices replacing archaic
stand alone POS systems. The partnership
will vastly improve efficiency in
handling co-pay and post-adjudication
payment from patients. Staff in the
physician’s office will benefit
from system wide access so critical
in revenue cycle management in collecting
patient balances in a post adjudication
environment.
The new service combines TRANSFIRST’S
processing capabilities for credit
card and ACH, manual and automatic
recurring payments, and custom reports
with IGI’s custom solutions.
Delivering either full integration
or Portal solutions IGI will add TransFirst
credit card and ACH processing to
its acclaimed product suite. Physician
or Hospital staff will have access
to credit card and ACH payment processing
anywhere within their facility or
wherever access to the internet exists.
“At IGI we recognized the current
shift in healthcare transferring financial
responsibility from payers to patients
has resulted in a need to deliver
sophisticated system wide solutions
to maximize revenue. Providers historically
have focused the majority of their
solutions to collecting third party
payment. With private pay approaching
35% of a provider’s A/R a greater
focus has been placed on collecting
from the patient,” states Arthur
Kapoor, IGI Founder and CEO. “At
IGI market intelligence is our forte
enabling us to deliver solutions which
increase cash flow and reduce costs”.
Christy Corey, President for TRANSFIRST’S
Health Services division explains,
“Our partnership is an example
of two customer centric organizations
listening to the market and delivering
state of the art technology which
addresses the growing trend of private
pay. Stand-alone products although
useful fall short in efficiency in
the complex environment of a healthcare
practice. We envision the same migration
path for credit card as eligibility
has taken in provider offices. The
same inefficiencies that plagued POS
eligibility solutions exist with credit
card. Through the power of the Internet
and IP solutions or full integration
healthcare providers will realize
productivity and work flow gains.
Healthcare has been lagging in certain
segments of technology especially
in the aspect of payment processing.
Business owners in food or home improvement
industries can process payments from
consumers via a fully integrated system
yet the most advanced healthcare system
is the world still utilizes stand
alone systems. We believe our newly
formed partnership with IGI addresses
this situation.”
