ZirMed

When ZirMed was founded in 1999, providers desperately needed a better way to manage fee-for-service healthcare business performance. Reimbursement-related workflows were manual, cumbersome, and convoluted. Providers were drowning in paper, it was difficult to get paid fully—and it was impossible to get paid quickly.

ZirMed invented the answer: cloud-based claims management. We streamlined front- and back-office workflows, and enabled providers to understand and improve financial performance.

Less than a decade later, those solutions and insights remained vital, but provider-to-provider and provider-to-patient communication became increasingly critical to managing clinical and business performance—to qualify for incentives, avoid penalties, strengthen the continuum of care, and reduce referral leakage.

We recognized the fundamental obstacle: lack of interoperability between legacy systems. So we built fully interoperable cloud-based communications solutions that solved the challenges of HIPAA-compliant health information exchange for our clients.

Today there’s an even more complex challenge: value-based care. Clinical quality, utilization, and financial performance are becoming more intertwined. Fee-for-service isn’t going away, but fee-for-value is rising. And only ZirMed empowers our clients to manage them both.
