FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, March 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediXall Group Inc., (OTCQB: MDXL), a technology and innovation-driven organization structured to bring effective change to the U.S. Healthcare Industry, is pleased to announce that the company has initiated a controlled launch of its Healthcare Marketplace in South Florida, specifically in the counties of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Dade. This controlled launch consists of a select group of MediXall early adopters who completed the onboarding process and were approved by the credentialing committee.
With MediXall’s registered healthcare providers continuing to complete their legal agreements and the subsequent process of credentialing, the full launch with all medical services available is on track for the second quarter of 2018.
Michael Swartz, President of MediXall Group said, "The controlled launch of the MediXall Platform is an important step towards our objective of providing a better solution to connect consumers with high-quality healthcare providers and wellness services at a lower cost.”
The MediXall Platform is a new generation healthcare marketplace platform to address the growing need of self-pay and high deductible consumers for greater transparency and price competition in their healthcare costs. This transparency shifts the power to the patient's hands, allowing them to find quality, affordable medical, dental, and wellness services, offered by quality doctors, dentists, and other health providers in their area. With MediXall, Consumers in the controlled launch will now have the ability to search for doctors and book appointments based on cost, distance, ratings, and availability at the click of a button.
"Healthcare costs are climbing, and uninsured and under-insured patients have no idea of what the cost is to visit a healthcare provider or to get an MRI, which is why the idea of a marketplace for self-pay care is needed,” said Dr. Winston S. Marshall, an Interventional Cardiologist in the North Texas area and a MediXall credentialing committee board member.
The MediXall Provider Network includes pre-registered healthcare providers who have been formally credentialed and approved by the MediXall Credentialing Committee. The company’s robust Provider Network of healthcare providers include:
- Chiropractors: Adjustments, and Body Therapy
- Dental Care: Braces Consultation, Extraction, Dental Package
- Holistic Medicine / Functional Integrative Medicine / Acupuncture / Massage Therapy
- Internal Medicine/General Practice/Family Medicine/ Primary Care Physician
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy
- Psychiatry / Psychology
- Radiology/Diagnostic Imaging – MRIs, etc.
MediXall will stand out from other healthcare platforms due to its credentialing review process and continuous monitoring, which has been modeled after the same process practitioners are required to take to become an in-network provider with an insurance company. Practitioners failing to meet the credentialing requirements of an insurance company may mean not receiving payment for out-of-network claims; with MediXall it means not being permitted to provide services through our Healthcare Marketplace Platform.
Credentialing is a lengthy, but necessary, process to ensure that users have access to quality healthcare providers. To make the credentialing seamless and easy for providers, MediXall entered into a unique technology partnership with a NCQA certified CVO. This partnership enables MediXall to verify that each provider on the platform meets the Company’s compliance and quality assurance requirements with industry leading turnaround time and efficiency, starting with application collection and processing, all the way through verification, committee review, and ongoing monitoring.
Once a health provider has requested to join the marketplace, MediXall conducts a full credentialing process that evaluates the qualifications and practice history of a healthcare provider. Once a provider’s participation application is received, the Company verifies the qualifications and practice history of a health provider. This information includes, but not limited to:
- All medical and postgraduate training
- Board certification in the provider’s area of specialty
- Current licensure
- Any sanctions against the provider's license
- Malpractice coverage
- Malpractice history, work history, medical history
If the provider passes all of these checks, the application is then forwarded to a credentials committee for review. This committee consists of a panel of experienced and respected physicians from a variety of specialties. Providers who are approved by this committee become MediXall preferred providers and can begin providing services through the Healthcare Marketplace. Members of the committee are educated as to the Company’s credentialing process and have agreed to hold a review meeting monthly to evaluate new providers for approval.
In just three easy steps, consumers will be linked with quality medical care at an affordable price. To schedule an appointment, first the consumer inputs the medical service needed, including the day of the week, location and additional items associated with that service. Next, the MediXall platform will match you with fully-credentialed providers, based on those preferences. Lastly, the client can review the bids/offers and accept the provider and pricing that suits them best. For more information, please visit www.medixall.com or call (954) 440-4678.
