DALLAS, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- XactiMed, a provider of claims, remittance and denial management revenue cycle solutions to the healthcare industry, today announced Pennsylvania-based Altoona Regional Health System will use its revenue cycle solutions for electronic claims processing and claims management.

Cloyd Beers, Altoona Regional Health System’s Business Office Director, said Altoona selected XactiMed due to XactiMed’s revenue cycle solution capabilities and their customer support philosophy.

“Altoona Hospital’s recent merger with Bon Secours - Holy Family Hospital, forming the Altoona Regional Health System, exposed us to XactiMed’s revenue cycle solutions and we are thrilled with everything we have seen,” said Beers. “Holy Family was using XactiMed’s revenue cycle solutions prior to the merger, and as a result of Holy Family’s previous experience with XactiMed, and our own due diligence regarding XactiMed and other vendors, we decided to implement XactiMed as our revenue cycle solution provider for the entire health system. Through our evaluation process we found XactiMed to have the most dynamic and results driven product available, as well as having a great reputation for customer service and support.”
