Through the integration, Epic clients will be able to query TransUnion’s consumer databases to validate patient demographic and financial data at scheduling, pre-registration or registration, according to a news release.
John Yount, vice president of product for TransUnion Healthcare, expressed excitement about the integration.
“Patient Financial Clearance solutions integrated into Epic Systems equips front-end staff with the necessary information to quickly determine the patient’s ability and willingness to pay, or likelihood to qualify for financial assistance,” he said in a statement. “This solution is especially important as the industry is pushing the burden of healthcare costs downline so the patient is the new payer.”
