Fix Healthcare Technology (Fix HT) is a healthcare technology and process automation company located in the Lehigh Valley. Their premiere service, RetroCAID Tracking™, has recovered millions of dollars in retroactive Medicaid payments for 3,500 healthcare facilities in 45 states.  Acting as a safety net, RetroCAID-Tracking™ provides daily tracking of self-pay and sliding fee encounters and immediately alerts the health center the moment an encounter becomes retroactively reimbursable through Medicaid or an MCO within the state.  Each encounter is tracked for the full length of its respective timely filing period to ensure no retro-eligible opportunity is missed.  The service is 100 percent contingency based, provided on a month-to-month agreement basis, and requires no software installation or integration.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this new service or would like more information, contact Matt Archer.
