Secure EDI is a recognized market leader as a value-added HIPAA transactions intermediary for medical, dental and institutional providers. The company also creates seamless electronic interfaces and support services for both payers and providers. IPCharge provides consolidated payment processing, settlement and reporting capabilities that enable Secure EDI to efficiently integrate patient payments with the claims reconciliation process at the healthcare practice level.
"Secure EDI wanted to provide a PCI-compliant, real-time card payment solution for our clients, and we chose IPCharge because it is easy to integrate and it is developed by the leader in the electronic payments market," said Secure EDI Vice President Joseph Gonzalez. "The advent of consumer driven health plans, co-payments, higher deductibles and the shift of financial responsibility to patients requires providers to have payment acceptance solutions that integrate with their practice management and reconciliation systems for efficient revenue management."
