Citizens Medical Center Signs New Contract for Streamline Health® eValuator™ Automated Pre-bill Analysis Solution

ATLANTA, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRM), provider of integrated solutions, technology-enabled services and analytics supporting revenue cycle optimization for healthcare enterprises, today announced it signed a contract on October 26 with Citizens Medical Center in Victoria, Texas for Streamline Health's eValuator™, its new cloud-based automated pre-bill coding analysis technology.

Streamline Health is leading an industry movement to improve healthcare providers' financial performance by moving mid-to-late revenue cycle interventions upstream, optimizing coding accuracy for every patient encounter prior to bill submission.  By improving coding accuracy before billing, providers can reduce lost revenue, mitigate overbill risk, and reduce denials and days in A/R. This enables providers to turn unpredictable revenue cycles into dynamic revenue streams.

"As a not-for-profit hospital serving South Texas for more than 50 years, we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding, compassionate patient care and on being able to grow to meet the demands of the communities we serve," stated Duane L. Woods Jr., CFO, Citizens Medical Center.  "That's why we are always looking for ways to help us improve our financial performance, and we believe Streamline Health's new eValuator pre-bill coding analysis technology will help us do that.  By analyzing every coded record before it's billed, we can make sure that we are requesting the correct amount– being fairly reimbursed for all care delivered to our patients—no more and no less."  

"We are pleased to add another new Texas-based client such as Citizens Medical Center to our roster of new eValuator users," stated David Sides, President and Chief Executive Officer, Streamline Health. "Every healthcare provider we serve today is looking for the best ways to ensure financial viability, and one way is to make sure they are getting fully and fairly reimbursed for all care delivery under today's increasingly complex payment guidelines. Our cloud-based, pre-bill coding analysis technology enables Citizens to check each and every patient bill before it goes out the door, ensuring that they don't under bill or over bill payors.  Revenue integrity is the name of the game, and we are committed to helping healthcare providers throughout the country to achieve better financial results through improved coding accuracy."
