TruBridge, Curahealth Announce Partnership to Provide Accounts Receivable Services for 12 Hospitals

GARLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TruBridge, a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), today announced that 12 long-term acute care hospitals operated by Curahealth LLC of suburban Dallas will employ outsourced accounts receivable and revenue cycle management services offered by TruBridge.

In commenting on the announcement, Chester Crouch, chief executive officer of Curahealth, said, “Curahealth recently assumed management for a dozen facilities across the country, and we needed accounts receivable management services that could begin functioning for us immediately. Having employed the TruBridge revenue cycle management services in previous executive positions, we contacted TruBridge. They brought us a complete accounts receivable solution that allowed us to get started right away, without requiring us to staff up at our hospitals, and to start generating cash on a real-time basis.”

Chris Fowler, chief operating officer of CPSI and president of TruBridge, said, “We will work hand-in-hand with Curahealth to provide process efficiency and on-target cash collection services that fit within the Curahealth culture and their long-term acute care facilities. We are highly sensitive to the needs of the hospitals, as well as the needs of the patients and their families in the communities they serve.”

Fowler added, “Sales of the TruBridge revenue cycle management services are accelerating both within the CPSI family of acute and post-acute care EHR clients and with new clients such as Curahealth, who have other EHR systems. In these difficult times of navigating the complex payer and reimbursement landscape, care organizations appreciate the turn-key collections systems TruBridge provides.”
