30 Ethical Companies of the Year 2019
The Silicon Review
“Recondo’s mission is to help providers achieve sustainable financial performance while delivering a better patient experience.”
Healthcare is a shared human experience that’s ultimately about caring for people. Whether it’s people in our communities or the people who devote their careers to the industry. Delivering quality care while maintaining sustainable financial performance is difficult, especially amid increasing complexity, rising costs, shrinking labor markets, and increasing consumerism. Those consumers are struggling too. Financial uncertainty can be just as stressful as health uncertainty. Rising deductibles are shifting greater financial responsibility to people, and many struggle to pay their medical bills.
Selecting a revenue cycle management partner that understands this delicate balance is critical. Automation should enable providers to manage business operations more efficiently, allowing for more meaningful time with patients.
In view of the above-mentioned, scenario, we’re thrilled to present Recondo Technology.
