The Opportunity:

Our revenue cycle management product, athenaCollector, is deep in the middle of the largest market expansion in the company's history; moving from just focusing on physician offices to also supporting entire hospitals and health systems. Within the Collector Patient Access zone, teams focus on capturing and validating information necessary for the health system to provide the patient with the right service while ensuring proper reimbursement, in a way that promotes patient satisfaction and client financial performance. This includes workflows and tasks such as patient registration, patient check-in and check-out, patient insurance search and admin capabilities, patient resource utilization, patient referrals and insurance authorizations, and many others. This zone’s primary focus in the next six months is to scale the product for up market growth into larger hospital systems.
