AssuriCare® Receives Strategic Investment from M33 Growth to Accelerate Innovation and Platform Expansion

WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AssuriCare, an innovation leader within the long-term care industry, announced today that M33 Growth, a growth-stage investment firm, has made a significant investment in the company to help accelerate its efforts to enhance AssuriCare's long-term care (LTC) SaaS-based platform.

"We have created the LTCfastpay® platform that connects care recipients, providers and insurers, and delivers tangible value to all of our customers," said Michael Gilbert, CEO at AssuriCare. "Our platform was the first SaaS solution to enable claimants, providers and insurers to easily and reliably process payments and electronically submit verified insurance claims. We've continued to invest, and have remained on the cutting edge, serving tens of thousands of long-term care recipients and processing hundreds of millions of dollars of provider payments and insurance claims. Right now, there are significant opportunities to broaden and deepen our platform to better serve our customers, expand our offerings to benefit more people, and increase our overall value proposition to the long-term care industry. This partnership with M33 Growth will give us access to resources, strategies and partnerships which will enable us to fully execute on our vision. I am really impressed with the M33 team and their excellent track record helping other companies accelerate growth."

"M33's investment strategy is to align with market leaders," said Gabe Ling, co-founder and managing director of M33 Growth. "The AssuriCare team has a deep understanding of the long-term care industry and have established themselves as proven innovators, creating and bringing to market solutions which solve significant problems facing long-term care recipients, providers and payers today. They stand ready to implement on an impressive roadmap that includes significant platform enhancements that will bring more value to existing customers, enable more efficient processes for providers and payers, expand their platform to the facilities market, and so much more. We are excited to partner with them to better serve their customers and meet the growing demands of this important market."

According to the National Health Policy Forum, total spending on long-term care is more than $220 billion, or almost 10% of all US personal health care spending, and is projected to increase to almost $350 billion in 2040. As long-term care needs have grown, so have the complexities associated with evolving care models, multiple provider types and situs of care, providers' regulatory and compliance needs, protections for long-term care workers, and an increasing landscape of public and private payers. AssuriCare's unique LTCfastpay platform and care management services help care recipients more effectively track, manage and pay for care, help providers interact seamlessly with multiple payer sources, and help long-term care payers efficiently process verified, standardized, electronic claims submissions.
