CLIFTON, TEXAS, Sept. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the Texas Workforce Commission, over 13 percent of Texans were unemployed heading into July in the wake of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
For these members of our community, that means losing health insurance, reliable income and the means to pay for everyday expenses. As doctors and hospitals open for elective procedures, MDsave is making sure that these workers and their families aren’t left without medical care.
To expand options for accessible care, MDsave has partnered with hospitals across the country to enable transparent, affordable healthcare. Patients paying out of pocket, like those who’ve lost their insurance due to COVID-19, need one upfront price they can understand and budget for, without the fear of getting a surprise bill a month later.
With MDsave, Goodall-Witcher Healthcare can offer special reduced prices because we reduce the amount of administration needed for coding and billing.
“By helping our hospital partners get paid without the traditional hassle of insurance claims or collections, we’re able to pre-negotiate savings that we pass on to patients,” explains Paul Ketchel, MDsave CEO and co-founder.
Now that non-essential procedures can resume, it’s important to recognize the toll this has taken on the physical and financial health of both patients and hospitals. MDsave is working with our hospital partners to enable a return to normalcy and bring accessible care back to the community.
