VALHALLA, N.Y., Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rectangle Health, the foremost healthcare payment solutions provider in the U.S., is pleased to announce a new partnership with North Metro Medical Center (NMMC), a mid-sized hospital serving the community of Jacksonville, Arkansas and its surrounding areas. Using Rectangle Health's proprietary and customized Practice Management Bridge software, NMMC will be able to offer patients multiple payment plans, while also streamlining their own internal processes for patient payment collections.

Over the last several years, the patient responsibility for their healthcare payments has continued to rise and required a shift in process, technology and training for NMMC. "We needed a tech-savvy solution to help the hospital increase patient payments and lower our account receivable. Rectangle Health's patented software has been a blessing, we enjoy the fact we can now set up payments online, almost eliminating manual payment processes," says Carolyn Burns, Patient Account Counselor, NMMC.

NMMC was most impressed by how easily and efficiently the Practice Management Bridge software was able to be integrated into their existing system. "The integration went extremely well," says Christina Godfrey, Revenue Cycle Direction, NMCC. She continues, "Rectangle Health has allowed us to set up a solid payment plan on the front-end for our patients, so far we've received nothing but positive feedback from our patients."

"Our partnership with North Metro Medical Center highlights the perfect usage of our state-of-the-art patient payment process technology. NMMC patients can enjoy the same friction-free and easy payment experience they have with other industries, and hospitals such as NMMC can significantly streamline their internal processes for collecting from their patients," says Michael Peluso, General Manager for Rectangle Health.
