TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raintree
Systems, a provider of highly-configurable, comprehensive EMR/EHR
and Practice Management software and services solutions, has
partnered with TransFirst, a leading provider of transaction
processing services and payment enabling technologies.
Under the terms of this alliance, we have enabled simplification
of encounters with patients over their payment portions and we are
committed to unlocking value for users of Raintree Software
Products. As a niche provider of solutions in physical therapy,
behavioral therapy, pediatric therapy, rheumatology, pain
management, oncology, and bariatrics -- all specialized fields of
medicine, we are highly selective about who we align with. Raintree
Systems' clients will have complete access to TransFirst's
comprehensive suite of electronic payment solutions, as well as
TransFirst's competitive pricing structure, dedicated program
management specialists and 24/7 U.S.-based payment processing
support.
"TransFirst's products and services fit perfectly with our
company philosophy of solving real-world problems for providers
delivering care in specialized fields of medicine," says
Terrence Sims, President and COO of
Raintree Systems. "TransFirst's solutions integrated with Raintree
Software Products, in a simple, elegant, and value-driven way,
delivers immense value to our clients and endears them to their
patients by enabling an enriched care delivery experience."
The overwhelming benefits of effective and embedded patient
responsibility management and payment processing is imperative in
an industry that has seen a greater than 300% increase in
out-of-pocket medical expenses over the past 20 years. Making
payment accommodations, managing payments arrangements, and
automating the payment transaction is a quintessential.
Failure to do this effectively could result in patients electing to
decline or defer care they desperately need and/or an increase in
bad debt/collection activities for providers.
"This alliance with Raintree Systems continues to cement
TransFirst's reputation in the healthcare industry as the go-to
partner for payment solutions, particularly as healthcare
reimbursement continues to shift more toward higher patient
responsibility," says Carl Mazzola,
President of TransFirst's Health and Public Services division.
"With point of sale and card-on-file capabilities, our integrated
solution will help Raintree Systems' clients manage their practice
more effectively and enable their patients with more payment
options."
With the compliment of other Raintree offerings (RT Connect, RCM
/ Rev-Edition, & Raintree Business Intelligence &
Analytics), the partnership with Transfirst adds even more
value. Whether generating revenue, accounting for revenue, or
processing transactions – leveraging technology wisely enables
flexibility for both the providers of care and their patients.
