[May 25, 2012] MTBC Launches CareConnector(TM), a Patent-Pending System That Identifies and Proactively Schedules Important Healthcare Encounters Tweet SOMERSET, N.J., May 25, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- MTBC, a leading healthcare IT company serving providers throughout the country, announced today the launch of CareConnector(TM), a proactive patient scheduling system that systematically identifies and addresses opportunities for optimizing patient care. As explained in MTBC's recent patent filing, "[CareConnector(TM)] will not only determine which patients are eligible for certain healthcare encounters and procedures, but will also generate a communication to concerned patients regarding their eligibility, prompting them to schedule an appointment and facilitating the scheduling of the related healthcare encounter or procedure. The invention aims for a healthier society by ensuring that… patient[s] receive certain… . healthcare services... that are critical to their long-term care." While there are a wide array of scenarios in which CareConnector(TM) can serve an important role, MTBC expects that primary care practices will be among the first adopters of the service and will employ it to schedule well care visits and other preventive care encounters that are covered by the respective patients' insurance plans. Such services, while often overlooked, are critical to promoting patient health and are reimbursable at very competitive rates. Loraine Goetsch, MTBC's Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management, explained, "CareConnector(TM) fills an important gap that exists in the current healthcare system. By doing so, we're able to help healthcare providers enhance patient care and maximize revenues, while reducing administrative burdens on their office staff." "We're very pleased to offer CareConnector(TM) as the latest addition to MTBC's proprietary, fully-integrated practice management solution," explained Stephen Snyder, MTBC's President. Mr. Snyder further explained, "For more than a decade, MTBC's research and development team has created and refined physician practice management and business intelligence tools such as our ONC-ATCB certified EHR and CareConnector(TM), embracing a 'build it' technology acquisition strategy, in contrast to the 'buy it' approach of our key competitors. This approach has helped us keep our unique, integrated solution on the forefront and freed us to focus our business acquisition campaign on billing companies that do not have such technology and are eager to offer our solutions to their clients." MTBC is in the process of rolling out CareConnector(TM) to its existing PracticePro(TM) clients, who may avail themselves of the service at no additional cost beyond the standard rate of 5% of collections that it charges for its end-to-end EHR, practice and revenue cycle management solution.
