CHARLOTTE, NC Feb. 16, 2021 \u2013 Collateral Velocity, Inc., a fintech that provides certain and immediate low-cost liquidity for healthcare organizations while improving banking relationships, revenues and relevance, announced it has closed an investment round and partnered with PMMC.<\/p>\n
Collateral Velocity, in partnership with PMMC, combines the power of advanced revenue cycle solutions with a highly sophisticated healthcare finance platform that provides claims payment certainty to maximize reimbursements and maintain financial stability through these challenging times.<\/p>\n
The investment in Collateral Velocity will be used to expand the platform\u2019s capabilities to support the healthcare spend associated with managed bundled payment programs and enable hospitals and health systems to better address the financial uncertainties of various reimbursement practices by health plans and employers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investment and collaboration with PMMC accelerates our provider payment funding capabilities as hospitals transition from traditional \u2018heads in beds\u2019 business models and furthers our mission to improve financial outcomes so health care organizations have more resources to devote to patient care,\u201d said Chris Langley, chief operating officer of Collateral Velocity.<\/p>\n
PMMC, the industry leader in claim payment expectancy to improve financial outcomes, provides software and services that enables better financial performance for more than 450 hospitals and health systems. PMMC\u2019s software supports 1.3 million claim data feeds with a 99% accuracy rating to help clients better predict and plan for managed bundled and other claim contract payments.<\/p>\n
Robby Shaul, president of PMMC, said the company is collaborating with Collateral Velocity to power the platform to add value to its suite of revenue cycle and contract administration offerings that help hospitals and health systems make bundled and managed payments more certain.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complexity of health plan contracts adds to the uncertainty and financial challenges,\u201d said Shaul. \u201cNational payers make approximately 13,000 payer policy changes a year each, making it more difficult than ever for providers to achieve payment certainty in the payer arena.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collateral Velocity has designed and alpha-tested two new financial products based on the processing of public or private medical claims associated with value-based and other payor contracts. The company is working with a Tier 1 bank and one the nation\u2019s largest alternative investment management companies to bring the products to market.<\/p>\n
\u201cProviders have a foot in two canoes, with a significant portion of business tied to the old way of geing paid and the rest attached to new, value or bundled payment models,\u201d said Shaul. \u201cFee-for-service success hinges on healthcare CFOs understanding past performance to maximize revenue whereas value-based care requires a more forward-looking, strategic mindset to get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n
