Prelude Software welcomed as a commercial member of the Medical User Software Exchange (MUSE), the community of MEDITECH users

BRAINTREE, MA, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2022 /PrLog.com/ -- Prelude Software, who has recently collaborated with MEDITECH to apply its PayPilot® ePayables module as a new seamlessly integrated solution for Expanse to automate payment and reconciliation processes, is proud to announce it has become a commercial member of the Medical Users Software Exchange (MUSE), a community of MEDITECH users and related professionals who interact to learn and share their knowledge and experience.

“Prelude Software’s relationship with MUSE and collaboration with MEDITECH brings together the best of all worlds to help hospitals improve payment processing efficiency, reduce costs and increase revenue. Our unique ability to help MEDITECH clients leverage the seamlessly integrated PayPilot ePayables solution, to significantly reduce manual processing of payments and enable digital payment capabilities immediately helps remedy a hospitals’ financial health.” said Bill Clausen, Executive Vice President Partner Relations at Prelude Software. “Our partnership with MUSE helps healthcare organizations receive the insight, solutions and support required to exceed their expectations”.

Through the MUSE community, members network, solve problems, identify best practices, and improve performance for their organizations. With this relationship, Prelude Software and its collaboration with MEDITECH can provide its seamlessly integrated PayPilot ePayables solution to extend financial offerings in new ways, making healthcare organizations more secure, efficient and profitable.

Haven Caldwell, Controller at Magnolia Regional Health Center states, “With PayPilot acting as a bridge between MEDITECH’s Accounts Payable and the payment platform provider, payments are posted immediately when they are released to the payment platform provider, and reconciliation files are automatically read back into MEDITECH. This solution does everything we wanted and gives us more control over the payment workflow.”

Prelude Software’s ePayables solution will allow clients to use their MEDITECH-validated technology, saving them time by automating the processing of disbursements, enabling digital payment methods and providing automated reconciliation. In addition, PayPilot makes it possible to use virtual cards for disbursements that can provide a substantial revenue stream back to the healthcare organization.

“Healthcare organizations are aggressively pursuing virtual cards for disbursements to speed up the delivery of our payments to their suppliers and earning a cash-back”, stated Steve Root, President of Prelude Software. “Our PayPilot for MEDITECH solution helps these organizations overcome the technical hurdles that often prevents them from a fully automated process. Equally important, PayPilot allows them the flexibility to choose, use, or swap the payment platform at their discretion.”

In support of MUSE’s mission to develop solutions, identify best practices and improve personal and organizational performance, Prelude Software continues to provide world-class customer service and be integral in educating people on how they can improve their Accounts Payable processes.

Prelude shares a common vision with MEDITECH, in that its solution makes a difference in the lives of both their mutual customers and likewise, those customers’ patients, providers, and suppliers/vendors. Prelude is focused on delivering a great experience while improving their payment processes. Prelude’s PayPilot ePayables solution automates payment processing and also helps hospitals improve compliance, patient reimbursement and supplier payments – all while generating more revenue.

"MEDITECH is excited to work with Prelude to provide our customers with a modern, efficient payment methodology. In today's competitive environment, cost containment and operational efficiency continue to drive healthcare systems – working together with Prelude we provide a clear strategy for our customers in these areas,” said Christine Parent, Associate Vice President, MEDITECH.

The five key benefits of Prelude Software’s PayPilot for MEDITECH are:

Generation of revenue from your accounts payables
Integration is seamless with MEDITECH for payment issuance and reconciliation
Automation of the payment processes
Reconciliation of the payments processed
Incorporation of multiple digital payment methods

MEDITECH clients will be able to stay in MEDITECH Accounts Payable and automatically pay all of their invoices via digital payments without the need to go into another third-party application. The PayPilot ePayables solution will automatically handle all of the reconciliation, ensuring that payments are processed, with updated status applied to the correct accounts. Healthcare organizations can migrate from printing and mailing checks to digital forms of payments. This simple process change allows clients to refocus efforts away from manually processing payments, reconciliation and dealing with unclaimed property (uncashed checks) to more productive, operational activities with greater efficiencies, financial controls and revenue generation.

PRELUDE SOFTWARE TO SHOWCASE ITS PAYPILOT® EPAYABLES DISBURSEMENT HUB AS SILVER SPONSOR AT GUIDEWIRE CONNECTIONS 2021

BRAINTREE, MA, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Prelude Software (Prelude), a Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution Advantage partner and a leading provider of ePayables management technology, today announced that it is proud to be a Silver sponsor of the Guidewire Connections Conference again this year. The 2021 conference is a live event to be held November 1 – 4, 2021 at the ARIA Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, NV. Connections is Guidewire’s annual user conference for P & C insurance companies and focuses on providing timely, forward-thinking information and facilitates enterprise-wide stakeholders to aspire towards constructive, impactful achievements to meet their collective business objectives.

Guidewire Connections fosters opportunities for attendees to engage with experts to gain insights, get questions answered, and share ideas. They appreciate strategic partners, like Prelude, with whom they can continue to collaborate with and apply innovative new ways to improve claims processing and transform the customer experience, including via a self-service Payee Portal to make insurance more convenient.

Today, carriers understand that ePayables are a must-have, integral component of their digital experience strategy and business continuity plan. No longer should the default be a paper check, but rather, minimally, it should at least be an eCheck, where the claimant can instantly be notified of the payment and can print the check and deposit via a mobile banking app, ATM, or bank-teller location.

Highlighted this year, is “PayPilot APC”, Prelude’s “All Payments Capable” consortium that makes it possible for carriers to easily work with Prelude to help manage both their inbound and outbound payment processing. Prelude has forged key alliances to continue to offer the most robust and ready, end-to-end solutions for our clients, from premium payments (inbound) to claim payments (outbound). And, for carriers that prefer to outsource their printing and mailing of outbound payments, Prelude’s alliance for customized print, mail and document solutions can support those requirements. Best of all, Prelude now offers Virtual Card processing to enable carriers to not only provide instant payments to their payees but also earn cash back from utilizing this payment method.

“Prelude is proud to continue our sponsorship of Guidewire Connections and back to the in-person conference for 2021,” said Steve Root, president and chief executive officer, Prelude. “The partnership of Guidewire and Prelude is key to our mutual clients and Connections is the perfect venue for us to highlight our PayPilot solution and superset of capabilities from our consortium with the key stakeholders who strive to compete in today’s marketplace. The tandem of Guidewire ClaimCenter and our PayPilot ePayables Hub give insurers an end-to-end solution to truly make insurance convenient.”

“Prelude Software is a great example of what it means to be a Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution Advantage partner. We are so happy to have them back again this year as a Silver Sponsor of Guidewire Connections 2021,” said Becky Mattick, vice president, Solution Alliances, Guidewire. “A long-standing partner of Guidewire, we look forward to Prelude showcasing its Ready for Guidewire validated accelerators for the PayPilot solution, which provides the flexibility to meet the demand for the instant payment methods PayPilot enables.”

In summary, Prelude takes on the heavy lifting of all your payment processing needs so you can focus on insurance and your policyholders, and we also make it possible to turn part of your cost center to a revenue-generating opportunity.

With PayPilot, carriers have a significant competitive advantage. With over 30 years’ experience, Prelude understands the insurance marketplace and carriers’ ever-demanding policyholders that expect an easy-to-do-business-with experience at all times.

As a Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution Advantage partner, Prelude develops Ready for Guidewire accelerators, which quickens the integration between its PayPilot disbursement hub solution and Guidewire ClaimCenter, allowing users to stay in their ClaimCenter UI while PayPilot transacts the payment and ancillary processes behind the scenes. Guidewire has validated and published such accelerators in the Guidewire Marketplace.

Prelude will demonstrate how PayPilot enables insurers to increase customer satisfaction and better manage all aspects of their enterprise-wide disbursement processes, providing real-time lifecycle management of all outbound payments. Whether on prem or in the cloud, the Ready for Guidewire accelerators for ClaimCenter 9, 10.0.1, and 10.1.0 help rapidly deploy the PayPilot disbursement hub solution to:

● Improve processing efficiencies related to outbound payments;
● Support all types of payments, including claims and vendor disbursements;
● Enable a payee, self-service payee portal;
● Quickly and easily incorporate multiple payment methods, including, but not limited to:

o MICR checks
o ACH
o Zelle
o PayPal
o eChecks
o Push-to-debit via Visa
o Direct online deposit
o Virtual cards; and

● Provide a robust suite of related payment-processing functionality, such as reconciliation, positive pay, OFAC scanning, and escheatment.

With the PayPilot disbursement hub solution accelerator, insurers can automatically issue payments directly from ClaimCenter that will notify claimants and allow them to choose how they want to be paid from a payee portal. The payment can also include remittance information. Importantly, the status of the payment can be synchronized back to ClaimCenter automatically via this accelerator, providing immediate visibility that helps Guidewire ClaimCenter users continue providing excellent customer service.
