HealthCues, a leading provider of workplace health solutions, is committed to promoting wellness with no out-of-pocket costs and is excited to announce an impactful partnership with Emry Health. Through this partnership, utilizing Emry’s Financial Assistance Portal, HealthCues is enhancing healthcare affordability for members by making the eligibility and application processes for hospital financial assistance programs easy to understand, access, and navigate; saving members thousands on their out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
Most hospitals nationwide offer free or discounted care to patients below 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (i.e. $120,000 annual income for a family of four). Eligibility extends to the insured, yet a recent Emry Health survey found 84% of those with commercial insurance are either unaware of these programs or have never utilized them due to eligibility misconceptions.
Emry President, Derek Fitteron, highlights, “Misconceptions about eligibility contribute to low awareness and utilization rates. Many individuals mistakenly believe they make too much or find application requirements challenging. The overarching issue is the lack of accessibility and challenge in utilizing these programs, which is why we’ve built a solution to fix this.”
The Emry Financial Assistance Portal provides access to a comprehensive database of hospital financial assistance programs, streamlining eligibility determination and application processes. This tool enhances the member experience, helping employees eliminate past medical debt and avoid future out-of-pocket costs by automating cumbersome paper application processes.
Doug Frederick, Founder and CEO of HealthCues, emphasizes the partnership’s significance, “Our collaboration with Emry Health aligns with our mission to bridge the gap in workplace health solutions. Together, we’ll empower organizations to make a tangible impact on employees’ well-being by eliminating barriers to financial assistance for hospital expenses.”
Despite a significant portion of the American population qualifying for hospital financial assistance, awareness and utilization remain alarmingly low. Organizations can play a pivotal role in changing this narrative by facilitating teams’ access to and navigation of hospital financial assistance programs.
HealthCues and Emry Health are excited about the transformative impact this partnership will have on the lives of employees, promoting financial well-being, and eliminating the burden of hospital medical debt. Together, we usher in a new era of healthcare accessibility and empowerment.
