Beaverton, OR (PRWEB) March 9, 2006 –– Provider Advantage NW, Inc., a national provider of automated, integrated real-time healthcare information software, announced today that Hudson Valley Hospital Center has selected VeriLink to verify healthcare insurance eligibility.
This agreement provides Hudson Valley Hospital Center access to real-time patient eligibility and benefit information, allowing easy identification of what the patient’s portion will be for services rendered. Hudson Valley Hospital Center, located in Cortlandt Manor, NY is a not-for-profit, 120-bed hospital serving the Yorktown, Croton, Mahopac, Putnam Valley, Montrose, Cold Spring, and Hopewell communities.
Using Provider Advantage’s automated, integrated, real-time eligibility verification service, VeriLink, Hudson Valley Hospital Center will have access to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health plan insurance data, to confirm patients’ eligibility at the point of service and to determine up front financial responsibility. This will dramatically improve cash flow operations, reduce exposure to uncompensated care, and facilitate the collection of co-pays and deductibles at the time of service, without adding additional work to the registration staff.
“It is a pleasure to have Hudson Valley Hospital Center as our customer,” said Ted Tomkins, President of Provider Advantage. “Using VeriLink to immediately verify patient information at the point-of-service, Hudson Valley Hospital Center will increase up-front collections and reduce the amount of work and cost in the business office to collect from the patient or health plan. This is accomplished with little additional work by the registration staff.”
