DocASAP today announced Prevea Health will utilize its online appointment scheduling solution to connect patients and providers more efficiently to large payors. This innovative healthcare collaboration will utilize DocASAP, the leading online appointment scheduling solution for patient access and engagement, to allow members to book appointments directly with providers at Prevea Health. This connection will enable Prevea Health to improve quality, close gaps in care and improve access to care.

"We are excited to be a part of this unique opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare," said Dr. Ashok Rai, president and CEO at Prevea Health. "As a health system with a passion for delivering excellence in care, we know that this collaborative initiative will simplify the path to care for our patients. By seamlessly connecting providers to insurance providers, Prevea Health is a pioneer in closing gaps in care."

As part of this partnership, DocASAP is aligning with major payors on providing health systems the ability to:

• Attract more patients through new channels and leverage existing member touch points.
• Demonstrate the success of improved patient access and scheduling.
• Create a positive member/patient experience to drive member/patient satisfaction and retention.

"Prevea Health has always looked for technology to solve some of our challenges, such as delivering health care in a rural setting. DocASAP will allow us to intelligently match our patients with providers to help manage population health in our rural markets. Through this new partnership, we will provide our patients with a more efficient way of improving access and reducing quality gaps," said Dr. Paul Pritchard, vice president and chief quality officer, at Prevea Health.

"Our main goal in partnering with major health insurance companies is to improve the access and engagement problem that faces America's healthcare constituents. By enabling our online appointment scheduling solution through payors' member touch-points, we are reducing the hundreds of thousands of phone calls yearly between payors and providers and freeing up valuable administrative resources and time," said Jordan Pisarcik, vice president of accounts and business development, DocASAP. "Through this innovative program that is unique in the healthcare industry, patients will see an improvement in the quality of their healthcare and their lives."
