A key business challenge that medical practices face is the increasingly complex requirement for exchange of claims data with insurance payers. With REALCLEAN: Advanced Claims Editing, provider offices can use a much lower-cost approach than existing claims manager and claims editing tools, and without the need for highly technical and specialized resources. REALCLEAN allows providers to create and control their own unique edits through a set of user-friendly screens, without any knowledge of programming, for an entirely new level of customization and claims management.  It is the only option available in the market that is fully integrated with a revenue cycle management solution.

As high deductible health plans predominate and patient liability becomes an increasingly difficult portion of a medical provider's revenue, bad debt has become a serious problem. With REALASSURE: Patient Payment Assurance, medical practices can significantly reduce the burden of patient bad debt and unnecessary administrative costs. The entire patient collection process becomes easier to manage and payments easier to collect. As a result, REALASSURE enables providers to improve cash flow as well as patient/practice relations.

RealMed Director of Product Management, Sean Kilpatrick, expressed the company's enthusiasm for these exciting new products. "REALCLEAN and REALASSURE are testaments to our ongoing commitment to provide healthcare organizations with the only claims editing and payment assurance products that are fully integrated within our revenue cycle management solution. We believe that they also further establish RealMed as a leader in delivering technology products that reduce healthcare provider costs and streamline efficiencies."
