About Allviant

Allviant, a division of Medicity, Inc., is the developer of the Allviant Service Relationship Management (SRM) platform and the first-ever, consumer-centric SRM tools and network for healthcare called CarePass™. CarePass gives consumers a new method of access, convenience and control by connecting existing healthcare information systems and administrative data though a personally defined set of communication mediums and methods—from phone to text to email or fax. The opposite of customer relationship management (CRM), SRM empowers the customer to determine when and how they want to interact with service providers across their unique array of relationships—making a disconnected healthcare world painless and saving time, money and frustration for everyone.
