AAUCM Offers A-Claim Medical Payment Solution Discount to Members

CARROLLTON, Texas—The American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM) is offering its members discounts on A-Claim™, a proprietary medical payment solution developed by Preferred Health Technology, Inc., that is changing the way physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers are paid.

The system simply and securely verifies patients' insurance eligibility, provides real-time copayment and deductible responsibilities for each patient, adjudicates insurance claims, and accepts credit, debit or prepaid cards for payment at the time of service, before the patient leaves the office. By knowing what a patient owes and securing payment at the time of service, physicians can streamline billing procedures, lower collection costs and accelerate cash flow. Patients can authorize payment immediately and avoid sending checks through the mail. Studies show that health care providers collect only about 50-percent of their charges from patients who leave the office without paying.

A-Claim's patent-pending technology works with all major insurance plans and any medical office's practice management or EMR system. It is available for a low monthly subscription fee and minimal transaction charges.
