FRANKLIN and NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Passport Health Communications, Inc. and
Healthcare Management Systems® (HMS) have formalized their existing
relationship to establish a corporate partnership. HMS will offer Passport’s
patient access management services as an integrated solution within various HMS
health information systems and platforms.
“HMS is a leader in the health care information technology and services field
with a growing client base of hospitals across the country. We’ve been working
together for years, and our close proximity in Nashville – the U.S. health care
capital – will allow us to build a strong partnership to serve the best
interests of our mutual hospital clients,” said Passport Executive Vice
President Jeff Drake.
Hospitals implementing HMS platforms will have the opportunity to integrate
Passport’s insurance eligibility verification and other patient access
management services into their front end workflows. Through an electronic data
interchange Passport will automatically perform critical patient data checks and
post information directly into the HMS platform with little to no manual
interaction, increasing speed and efficiency and drastically reducing errors.
“HMS continues to pursue high value partnerships that benefit our customers and
we are excited to work with a market leader in the health care payment
processing services industry that understands the unique needs of small
community hospitals,” said HMS CEO Tom Stephenson.
