BEDMINSTER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedTech Breakthrough Awards today named Zelis, a leading healthcare payments company, the 2022 Best Overall Digital Health Company. This annual awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global health and medical technology market.

MedTech Breakthrough Awards honor excellence in the field of health and medical technology and recognize the innovation and success of digital health and medical technology organizations around the world. The awards include a range of health and medical technology categories, including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,900 nominations from more than 15 different countries.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized as a breakthrough company among thousands of nominations,” said Amanda Eisel, CEO of Zelis. “Innovation is critical to improving the healthcare financial experience for all. I’m so proud of our associates in making an impact on some of healthcare’s most complex problems and glad to see this success recognized by the industry. We congratulate and applaud both our team, and the other organizations who have been recognized for their impact on such critical areas.”

With an innovative platform including integrated claims cost management, payment optimization, and communications solutions, Zelis prices, explains and pays for healthcare on behalf of payers and their members. Through data-driven insights and human expertise, Zelis optimizes the most abrasive aspects of the healthcare payment process and has helped its clients save more than $27 billion in unnecessary healthcare spending since inception.

“The U.S. healthcare ecosystem is rife with unnecessary administrative costs. Over $450 billion of healthcare transactions are still paper-based, which is costly, slows down needed cash flow for healthcare providers, and often results in frustrating consumer billing mistakes,” said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Zelis is tackling these issues head-on by digitizing payments and offering innovative solutions to support both payers and providers. Congratulations to the Zelis team on being our choice for Best Overall Digital Health Company.”
