Advanced Medical Pricing Solutions (AMPS), a pioneer in healthcare cost containment, is pleased to announce it has partnered with TransUnion Healthcare (NYSE: TRU), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransUnion, that makes trust possible throughout the healthcare ecosystem by helping organizations improve health and financial outcomes. AMPS is the first cost containment company in the industry to align with TransUnion Healthcare to improve member experience.
The new partnership enables AMPS to give members more convenience while reducing abrasion and friction. While it is rare for members to receive true credit impairments related to medical debt, as part of the new TransUnion partnership, AMPS can implement new processes to monitor, in real time, any negative credit reporting made by medical providers due to unfair, improper overcharges. AMPS' partnership with TransUnion will allow AMPS to expedite the resolution process, and access consumer credit reports through a secure, controlled TransUnion portal, among other improved processes, including:
- Migrating away from a manual process to a more automated approach
- Access to more data and information for higher quality assistance
- Rapid dispute resolution and confirmation
- Prioritization of member security and privacy
"AMPS and TransUnion Healthcare are aligned when it comes to providing transparency. We understand credit reports carry so much weight with plan members, and our consumer credit reporting standards reflect that. By using our secure portal, AMPS can create a more convenient, friendly experience for their members and better assist them with dispute resolutions," said David Wojczynski, president of TransUnion Healthcare.
"AMPS continues to stay on the cutting edge of cost containment as the only company in the industry to partner with a credit bureau. With these ongoing, significant investments in partnerships, services, and technology, we are giving our clients and their members more satisfaction and transparency around their healthcare spend," said AMPS President and CEO, Kirk Fallbacher. "Our partnership with TransUnion Healthcare is proof that we fully support our clients' growing and evolving needs, respecting their privacy, and acting in their best interests as healthcare consumers."
