The National Business Group on Health (NBGH) recently welcomed Qmedtrix to its national membership, consisting of large employers dedicated to finding innovative and forward-thinking solutions to the nation's most important health issues. NBGH provides its members the opportunity to exchange ideas and share best practices with senior benefits professionals from leading corporations. NBGH members include some of the largest employers and most profitable companies in the world, such as Wal-Mart, ExxonMobil and Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Helen Darling, NBGH president, said, “As health care and its management become ever more complicated and challenging, it is all the more important to have leading-edge companies work together to identify best practices and solutions for sharing as well as help develop the next generation of tools and technologies. We are very pleased to have a visionary company like Qmedtrix join the National Business Group on Health, the nation's premier organization for large employers who want the most effective practices to improve the health and productivity of all of their employees.”

Qmedtrix also joined the Center for Health Transformation (CHT), a group dedicated to using technology and other market-proven tools to improve health care across the nation in the 21st century. CHT’s purpose is to raise awareness about the technology and developments that can save lives, and improve the quality of health care services.

The center is dedicated to identifying solutions to better health outcomes at lower cost and sharing them with the widest possible range of individuals, purchasers, providers and government decision makers. CHT members include Eli Lilly, the American Diabetes Association, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the American Health Care Association, among others.

"Qmedtrix’s membership in these premier health care organizations reinforces the company’s commitment to health care reform," said Dr. Merrit Quarum, CEO and president.

“Our membership in these national coalitions supports our goal to promote the highest standard of care for all patients,” Dr. Quarum said. “At Qmedtrix, we accomplish this goal by determining fair compensation for providers and facilities and by eliminating fraud, abuse and inaccurate charges. Partnering with NBGH and CHT provides Qmedtrix an outlet for sharing information about the importance of using cost-containment solutions to reduce inflated charges and improve health care services nationwide.”
