Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you expand on the 835 analysis and its implications for your clients? A: The 835 file is a correspondence between providers and payers. By incorporating 835 data into our solutions, we can pre-emptively address payer behaviors like denials and underpayments, which is increasingly important to our clients. This integration helps ensure accurate billing and enhances client satisfaction. - Benjamin Stilwill, CEO

Q: How does the incorporation of 835 data affect the ROI for eValuator?

By focusing on higher reimbursement rates, we can drive ROI higher than current levels. - Benjamin Stilwill, CEO

Q: What factors contributed to pulling forward the breakeven guidance? A: We've had success in getting clients live and renewing, which stabilizes our client base. Our focus on client success stories, like the RevID webinar, has generated significant interest and pipeline growth, positively impacting our financial forecast. - Benjamin Stilwill, CEO

Q: What are the near-term expectations for the pipeline and interest in the new module? A: We have a strong backlog and client success stories that are generating significant interest.
