PELITAS will boost nThrive’s patient access offerings, delivering incremental value for both providers and patients:
- Providers will have automated workflow capabilities for financially clearing patients pre-service or at check-in. PELITAS’s Integrated Patient Access Solution (iPAS) integrates seamlessly with any EHR or PMS and eliminates redundancy, freeing staff to focus on more impactful work.
- Patients will benefit from virtual check-in and payment capabilities. PELITAS’s Virtual Intake Management® is a suite of digital, self-service tools that allows patients to complete registration documentation and submit payments virtually. This technology provides one of the most in-demand capabilities in healthcare, driven in part by worsening labor shortages, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and growing consumer preference for digital engagement with their providers.
“PELITAS’s innovative patient access technology solutions complement the front-end of our portfolio by enhancing and automating workflows and enabling a digital patient experience, one of the most coveted solutions in healthcare today,” said Hemant Goel, CEO of nThrive. “Both organizations are rooted in complementary missions and cultures of innovation to drive meaningful improvement to health and financial outcomes for healthcare providers, payers and patients. We look forward to integrating their solutions and colleagues into our growing company.”
“We are thrilled to support nThrive in this strategic transaction that extends its leadership in revenue cycle management software and adds new capabilities to support digital patient intake and patient engagement solutions,” said Behdad Eghbali, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, and Paul Huber, Principal, of Clearlake. “We are excited to continue executing on our buy-and-build thesis to scale our SaaS platform investment in nThrive and create a comprehensive end-to-end RCM technology provider, while adding value through our proprietary O.P.S. framework.”
