Meadville Medical Center Selects Avadyne Health for A/R Resolution Services

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2014

Meadville Medical Center has selected Avadyne Health, a leading provider of revenue cycle services and technology, to implement third party A/R follow-up for the Pennsylvania-based hospital.

Bob Hoover, Director of Revenue Cycle at Meadville, stated, "We've been spending a great deal of time designing, building, and training for our Meditech upgrade so our resources were stretched pretty thin. Since we've had a very beneficial relationship with Avadyne for our Self-Pay work, it was a natural fit for us to hire them to help us resolve and clean-up our insurance A/R."

The US-based Avadyne staff, who average over 8 years of claims experience with the firm, will use Avadyne's proprietary "Next-in-Queue" workpooling technology to achieve faster resolution and reduced error rates. Avadyne's workflow allows its staff to pursue payers based on a segmentation approach that analyzes collectability and maximizes cash flow.

"We consider it a great endorsement of our performance when one of our clients engages us for additional services during a significant software change," said Moises Eilemberg, CEO of Avadyne. "I'm glad we could step up to work Meadville's A/R down so they could focus their resources on this major task at hand."
