Orlando Health Expands Mede Self Pay Analytics to Include Physicians Groups

MedeFinance (Mede), the leading healthcare analytics company, announced its most recent expansion of advanced analytics solutions at Orlando Health to include Self Pay Analytics Solutions for outpatient physicians groups.

Orlando Health, a $1.5 billion not-for-profit health care organization, has been a progressive user of Mede’s full suite of advanced analytics solutions and services since 2004. With the adoption of Mede Self Pay Analytics for Hospital Patient Accounts in 2005, Orlando Health has experienced significant success with the ability to screen self pay accounts for charity care and public assistance programs while also reducing bad debt write-offs and increasing self pay collection rates.

“Mede’s analytics have brought so much benefit, both operationally and financially, to Orlando Health’s revenue cycle operation, that it only made sense to expand these services to our employed physicians groups,” said Orlando Health VP of Revenue Management Keith Eggert. “The ability to identify, organize, and prioritize self pay accounts will be a huge benefit to our 300+ billable providers in Orlando Health’s physician and professional services. Ultimately this ability to segment and manage accounts benefits our patients.”

“We are very proud of the successful partnership with Orlando Health, a premier not-for-profit health care organization in Florida,” stated Mede CEO Mike Gallagher. “For over four years we have continued to expand our services and solutions and contribute to Orlando Health’s operational and financial performance, as well as its highly respected patient experience.”

Mede provides Orlando Health with advanced performance analytics solutions that include Revenue Cycle, Denial, Self Pay, Benchmarking, and Collector Performance Analytics.
