Patientco is a payment technology company headquartered in Atlanta, GA founded specifically to re-think the healthcare payment experience. The company believe that patients and health systems deserve better than the status quo. So they built easy-to-use technology that ensures health systems maximize patient payments. Patientco CEO and Co-founder Bird Blitch joins me on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast. Bird is an entrepreneur who is striving to make the patient financial experience an economic growth engine for health systems. He came up with the idea for PatientCo after he and his wife had their first child and were subsequently flooded with bills from several different providers. Bird found this process to be overwhelming and created PatientCo to make healthcare payments easier and more convenient. As an entrepreneur striving to make the patient financial experience an economic growth engine for health systems, I learn where the idea came from and what inspired him to solve these problems? We also talk about the issues regarding billing in the healthcare industry and how technology can be used to combat these problems and much more.
