ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 30, 2020

Mnet Health announced today their commitment to helping the medical community stabilize productivity and keep the lines of communication between medical facility and patient open through their remote Patient Financial Advocates and their Remote Call Center.

Considering the current Coronavirus pandemic, Mnet Health has acted to ensure its deep commitment to the medical community in their efforts to stabilize productivity and keep patient communications open and available. Due to a long-standing relationship with the industry, Mnet Health understands the drastic situation that healthcare facilities are facing at this moment-and is offering its assistance.

Mnet Health is ready, willing and able to field inbound patient payment calls, even on a temporary basis, using its Remote Call Center technology and Patient Financial Advocates. Mnet has tailored its remote assistance to be a seamless transition for a facility with limited commitment.

The main goal is to help loyal clients and to preserve the integrity of the surgical industry. “This is no time for providers to let their patients go to voicemail” says David Hamilton, CEO of Mnet Health. “Patients need to be reassured that they’re not going to be sent to collections and that providers are going to work with them.”

How the Remote Call Center Works

Mnet Patient Financial Advocates remotely access the facility’s patient accounting system while the facility forwards inbound patient balance calls to Mnet’s remote call center. Some of the features of the Mnet Health Remote Call Center include having dedicated teams of Patient Financial Advocates for each facility.

These Patient Financial Advocates are all based in the United States and are multilingual. Call transfers are handled seamlessly, and patients are greeted by and IVR which also provides patients with abilities to self-service if that is their preference. Support for the Remote Call Center is open from 8 am to 8 pm CST as well as weekends with an average hold time of just nine seconds.

Patients are assisted by highly knowledgeable and well-trained Patient Financial Advocates. They are ready to answer any billing questions that might come up. They are ready to offer payment or pay-plan options including the ability to transact CareCredit as a method of payment.

Finally, Patient Financial Advocates are available to help patients through the application process. They are also ready to help patients with practical suggestions during the crisis such as how to apply for unemployment, where to go to find assistance and much more. “If patients don’t get answers from a helpful person, they are likely to read articles on the Internet they don’t understand and that frighten them” says Lauren Illescas, Mnet VP of Operations. “They worry about their credit, and assume the worst; so this is a time to be more available. When you are, you build patient loyalty.”

About Mnet Health

Mnet is a revenue cycle service & technology provider partnering with the surgical industry to provide custom patient-pay solutions to surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and management companies.  As of 2020, Mnet is serving over 700 surgical facilities nationwide both directly and in support of centralized billing offices.  Mnet’s brand, PaySUITE, is a platform of payment technologies that helps providers improve the patient financial experience while boosting collections performance.

EDISON, N.J. (PRWEB)
March 29, 2020

UPRx.com announces a new solution eliminating exorbitant costs associated with prescription medications. With the launch of its website, UPRx gives all Americans unprecedented access to the lowest available prices for prescription drugs regardless of their insurance status.

The significant rise in drug prices, even for those insured, has forced many US citizens to travel as far as Canada to defray prescription costs. UPRx.com carries 1000s of drugs- some even priced at $10 or less, creating savings of up to 50% on prescriptions when filled via their partner pharmacy, Apogee BioPharm.

With 62% of Americans rating healthcare as the most or second most important issue facing the future of America, reigning in drug prices is a potent issue ahead of the 2020 US election.

“Lack of health insurance and/or high out-of-pocket medical expenses are barriers to accessing health care, and with any barrier to care, the patient loses out,” says UPRx COO Ethan Welwart. “When patients are forced to make a choice between quality care or more affordable medication, care is often compromised. No one should have to make that choice. With our deeply discounted prices, FREE home delivery, and exceptional customer service, UPRx.com bridges this gap and ensures premium healthcare to ALL Americans, regardless of insurance plan.”

In tandem with their pharmacy website, UPRx has also just announced the launch of their new Telehealth app- Care by UPRx, created to support patients needing a prescription in addition to the medication itself.

Care by UPRx is a HIPAA -compliant virtual health app, used to connect patients in need of prescription medication with US licensed providers in 48 States.

Compatible with all devices, the app is available for download through The Apple App Store or Android’s Google Play, by searching for Care by UPRX. While normally incurring a $5 fee per Telehealth visit, use of the app will be free for registered UPRx.com patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, in an effort to further prioritize the health of their customers.

UPRx.com and Care by UPRx are available to all North America and are remarkably simple to use. With no membership fees or monthly premiums, it only takes seconds to sign up, even allowing multiple Patient Profiles for family members to store their information and order everyone’s medication seamlessly. Users visit UPRx.com, search for the prescribed medication, and can purchase it for cash after inputting their provider/pharmacy’s contact information to facilitate the prescription transfer. If there is no current prescription for the drug, the user can use UPRx’s newly launched Telehealth app, Care by UPRx, and speak with an accredited, third-party physician to request a prescription. Once the prescription is submitted or transferred to the pharmacy, the medication is shipped to the patient’s door – absolutely FREE.

Currently available for cash only, UPRx is able to offer the best prices by cutting out the middleman and doing the negotiating themselves, much like an insurance company would- providing patients with the same drugs, for less pay. In fact, there are some instances where it’s significantly cheaper to pay cash for a medication rather than order it through an insurer’s pharmacy benefits program. UPRx capitalizes on this by purveying locally-sourced products, directly, for a fraction of the price.

UPRx.com allows patients to:

• Access lower priced medications with or without insurance
• Bypass insurance limitations and high copays
• Avoid the hassle of going to the pharmacy to fill prescriptions.
• Consult with Doctors quickly and easily
• Receive medications delivered to their door with complete discretion.
• Get the Care they deserve from the comfort of their homes

UPRx.com is fully registered and operates in multiple locations across the United States of America. Their partner pharmacy, Apogee BioPharm is licensed and operated in 49 states and Puerto Rico. Their Telehealth app, Care by UPRx is registered in 48 States. When UPRx obtains medical information while acting on a patient’s behalf, they maintain the privacy and security of that information in accordance with the standards of the HIPAA security regulations.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (PRWEB)
March 26, 2020

The Modular Building Institute (MBI) has taken the lead role in organizing the resources of the modular construction industry to help deliver much-needed medical and housing facilities. MBI formed a COVID-19 task force consisting of manufacturers, contractors, and architects from the United States, Canada, and Europe to help facilitate greater industry collaboration.

One of the goals of the task force is to channel the industry’s manufacturing capacity and focus those efforts on a handful of pre-designed and engineered solutions making the procurement process easier for federal and state officials. MBI has obtained “open source” facility solutions and is encouraging its network of over 100 modular manufacturers to rally behind these plans or to develop and open source their plans.

“Our goal is to have available solutions for immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs for communities,” said MBI Executive Director Tom Hardiman. “As of now, we have several options, including an open-source plan for a supplemental care unit that eighteen manufacturers have agreed to construct, giving the industry the capacity to build over 2,000 beds per week. Another steel-frame plan for long term patient care rooms has also been open-sourced and available on our website.”

MBI’s new web resources can be found here: http://www.modular.org/HtmlPage.aspx?name=emergency-COVID-19-response

MBI also serves as an “information clearinghouse” for the modular industry and end users alike. “We have created a COVID-19 Response page, open to the public, to provide access to our member list, sample plans, and the latest industry updates,” said MBI Marketing Director John McMullen.

The site contains brochures and information from numerous companies providing immediately deployable buildings to address space shortages. These units are currently being used as triage and testing facilities in some areas, giving hospitals and clinics additional “surge capacity.”

The modular construction industry, perhaps more so than any other industry, is poised to deliver on thousands of code-compliant health care and housing solutions within a very short timeline. MBI plans to continue adding resources to the site and has already begun outreach efforts to various state, provincial and federal policy makers with offers to assist. If your company is interested in supporting the industry response, please contact MBI at info@modular.org.

About MBI: Founded in 1983, the Modular Building Institute (MBI) is the international non-profit trade association serving modular construction. MBI strives to keep up with the latest trends of the modular/offsite construction industry and has expanded its membership over the years to include architects, owner/developers, and general contractors. As the Voice of Commercial Modular Construction (TM), it is MBI’s mission to expand the use of offsite construction through innovative construction practices, outreach, advocacy, and education, and to recognize high-quality modular designs and facilities.
