Salud Revenue Partners' Payer Collaboration Leader Recognized

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Jan. 18, 2024 - PRLog -- Salud Revenue Partners (Salud), a leader in revenue cycle management, announced today that Jason Smith, Salud's Payer Collaboration Leader, received the Aetna Better Health© of Illinois Community Heart Award for his work with Humboldt Park Health.

Aetna Better Health of Illinois' Community Heart Award honors organizations and individuals for their extraordinary work, service and contributions to positively affect Illinois' underserved communities.

As Payer Collaboration Leader, Smith serves as a liaison between healthcare providers, like Humboldt Park Health, and insurance providers, like Aetna, to aid in mutual understanding, find solutions to claims disputes, and serve as an internal resource to educate Salud's revenue cycle staff on payer reimbursement models. The Payer Collaboration Leader role at Salud was established to help ease some of the burden of revenue cycle so providers can focus on patient care instead of administrative hurdles. This is particularly important for the delivery of care to underserved populations where variances in the revenue cycle can more negatively impact a patient's ability to seek out and pay for quality healthcare.

In a letter from Brandy Williams, Lieutenant Director, Provider Relations at Aetna, Williams recognized Smith for "bringing (his) heart to the vital services we provide to our communities, and for going the extra mile to ensure all our members continue to receive the best care possible."

"All of us at Salud join Aetna in congratulating Jason Smith for being selected to receive the Aetna Better Health© of Illinois Community Heart Award," stated Jesse Ford, Salud's president and CEO, "We are grateful for his expertise and proud of the dedication from all of our team members who work together in serving our clients and their patients with the utmost integrity."
