"Our collaboration with RealMed will create enhanced business efficiencies and we expect it to further facilitate the introduction of Online Care into key payer and provider markets," said Ido Schoenberg, M.D., CEO of American Well Corporation.
RealMed's revenue cycle management service integrates with physicians' practice management systems and offices to facilitate diverse, multi-payer, HIPAA compliant electronic submissions. American Well's Online Care system enables live, on-demand communication between the health plan's membership and its network physicians. The joint offering will streamline the incorporation of Online Care services into the health plan's financial infrastructure, delivering lower cost of deployment, shorter time to market and simplified Online Care benefit administration.
"Our domain expertise in automating all aspects of revenue cycle management is a natural fit for the new and rapidly growing market of Online Care services. The efficiency delivered by this joint offering further emphasizes the promise of Online Care as a consumer- and provider-friendly tier of care," said
