 Emergencies and accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. Are your employees
prepared for the financial burdens that could arise due to extremely high
medical transportation costs both at home or while traveling the country?
Americans today suffer from a
false sense of security that their medical coverage will pay for
all costs
associated with emergency or critical care transport. The reality is that
the majority of people are only partially covered for these
costs.
MASA Medical Transport Solutions provides more than just benefits. They
provide the ultimate peace of mind from emergency medical transport bills
after even the best insurance companies have paid their part.

As technology advances in our lives, organizations explore how new
capabilities can improve their business functions. Accounts Payable (AP) is
one of the areas which can benefit greatly from technology and attention,
ultimately transforming what was once viewed as a necessary business
function into a revenue-generating strategy.
Many hospitals have some version of automation in their accounts payable,
but often the program doesn’t live up to their expectations. It can be
challenging to enroll suppliers, it may take too many IT resources and/or
lackluster customer service isn’t enough.
When an AP solution stalls, it’s hard to imagine getting another one, but
some organizations are finding that’s exactly what they need to do.
Having two AP solutions from different providers can provide some
much-needed relief from the frustrations of an underperforming program. You
can ask a provider to evaluate only the payments that aren’t already
automated – giving them a smaller portion of the pie means they will give...

 The 340B Prescription Card Program from SUNRx helps 340B entities pass along savings to patients. Eligible hospitals and clinics struggle to stretch their scarce resources to provide the crucial services their patients need while
maintaining financial security. And while many patients they serve can’t afford to pay for high priced medications, it doesn’t have
to be this way — a 340B program administered by SUNRx can help.
SUNRx’s 340B prescription card program provides a conduit for covered entities
to pass along 340B savings to their patients. Because SUNRx is a wholly owned
subsidiary of pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), MedImpact Heathcare Systems,
this 340B prescription card program is unique from others. SUNRx confirms 340B
patient eligibility and applies its “lower of” cost calculation to find the lowest price

Safety Net Hospitals struggle to stretch scarce resources to provide crucial
