Service Relationship Grows from Six to 12 Hospitals

FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Conifer Revenue Cycle Solutions, Inc. today announced it has reached an agreement to expand its relationship with a 12-unit hospital system in Colorado through 2012. Conifer will provide Medical Eligibility Counseling Services (MECS) to all 12 hospitals and continue to provide self-pay Accounts Receivable Management services to six of the system's hospitals. The MECS program helps patients who may not have the means to pay for needed hospital services identify government programs, third-party payers and social service organizations from which they may be eligible to receive financial assistance.

"We began providing self-pay collection services to half of this client's hospital system in 2008. Now, based on our team's industry expertise and strong proven results, our client has chosen to expand our relationship and use additional Conifer services at all of its hospitals. We are very pleased that our client feels confident in our team's ability to help them solve real business challenges," said Stephen M. Mooney, President of Conifer Revenue Cycle Solutions.
