NEW YORK & PITTSBURGH – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
During a single healthcare encounter, a typical consumer may have multiple, disconnected interactions with their provider and payer about the financial aspects of their visit. For example, consumers looking to pay a bill, check their deductible progress or verify their health benefit account balance might have to utilize multiple communications methods, such as phone calls, apps or provider- and insurer-affiliated web portals.
This lack of alignment leads to frustration and confusion for consumers, resulting in missed payments, overspending, administrative waste and money left on the table for consumers, who may be unaware of their available spending account funds. Not only do U.S. consumers spend 12 million hours a week on the phone with health insurers, but more than one-third of consumers have been sent to debt collections because of a billing issue between their healthcare provider and health insurer.
To address the systemic challenges consumers face when paying for healthcare, Cedar, an enterprise healthcare engagement platform that improves the end-to-end consumer financial journey, has developed the Payer Intelligence Layer. With the Payer Intelligence Layer, Cedar can now integrate data from health insurers and healthcare providers to help create a single source of information for consumers managing medical bills. A game-changer for the healthcare industry, Pittsburgh-based Highmark Inc. and Allegheny Health Network (AHN) will be the first to launch the new technology for services provided to Highmark Inc. members at AHN wholly owned providers and facilities.
“For too long, payer and provider misalignment has led to a poor experience and lack of clarity for consumers managing healthcare bills — this is a system problem, requiring a system solution,” said Seth Cohen, president of Cedar. “When each party plays a separate role, neither can fix the experience alone. But by bringing both sides together, we can create the best possible experience, reducing billing friction for consumers while delivering more efficient operations for payers and providers.”
Initially available with Cedar Pay, the company’s billing and payment solution, the Payer Intelligence Layer enables consumers to access insurance explanation of benefits, real-time deductible status and health benefit accounts in the same place where they view and resolve medical bills — using a single, intuitive interface. Unlike other patient billing solutions, Cedar ensures consumers have the most up-to-date benefits information at their fingertips by directly integrating with health insurers as well as banks, which are responsible for administering health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts and health reimbursement accounts.
“Healthcare billing can be fragmented, cumbersome and overwhelming to navigate,” said Neil Kulkarni, vice president, Customer and Clinician Experience Solutions at Highmark Health. “Consumers want clear, easy-to-understand bills for their care and a simple way to pay — with their spending account information available across all channels. As part of Highmark Health’s Living Health model designed to deliver a blended and seamless health care experience, our collaboration with Cedar will help us to meet those customer expectations,” he said.
“The financial experience in healthcare is a real pain point for most consumers, and for most care providers. The issues associated with healthcare billing can only be resolved if all major players come together and collaborate for the benefit of consumers,” said James Rohrbaugh, chief financial officer and treasurer at Allegheny Health Network. “Our work with Cedar will be important in driving real progress in this area, helping our patients and members with an intuitive experience that fosters a sense of control and understanding about their financial responsibility.”
AHN and Highmark are collaborating with Cedar in distinct but integrated ways. Patients who visit AHN providers and facilities will experience the new and enhanced billing, statement and call center process, and simplified access to flexible payment options, all driven by the Cedar Pay platform. For AHN patients who are also enrolled as Highmark members, the enhancements multiply. Beginning at the end of October, the nearly 300,000 members visiting AHN providers will now have the added benefit of having their insurance information incorporated directly into a single billing statement. Members will see how their benefits have been applied, available health spending account funds and their progress towards their deductible and out-of-pocket limits — both when paying AHN bills online, and on the mailed paper statements.
“We’re excited to be launching with healthcare industry leaders Highmark Health and Allegheny Health Network to solve this persistent problem,” added Cohen, Cedar’s president. “But this is only the beginning: Cedar is continuing to explore more ways of leveraging payer data and new integrations to enrich the end-to-end healthcare experience for today’s consumers.”

Cedar’s Integrated Payer-Provider Patient Billing Platform Introduced to Highmark Inc. and Allegheny Health Network Customers
After developing severe esophagitis and being prescribed life-long medications, Jimmy Minhas, a doctor and founder of GerdLi, researched and created the world’s first natural supplement to relieve heartburn and acid reflux.
SEATTLE – November 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Physician-engineered GerdLi is the natural answer for people who live with acid reflux and heartburn. It’s a premium-formulated antacid that maintains gut health and allows one to get back to eating the foods one loves. For those who hate to swallow pills, GerdLi comes as a small, easy-to-swallow capsule.
People that suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are left to take prescription medications and must reduce or eliminate eating spicy foods, acrid vegetables, fatty, fried foods, fruit juices, wine, coffee and soda. Even large meals or eating before bedtime can cause uncomfortable acid reflux symptoms and, at times, damage to the esophagus.
GerdLi contains D-limonene, derived from the rinds of citrus fruits such as oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes and grapefruits and works in several ways to help with GERD.
“So many products on the market aiming to combat GERD and acid reflux, but GerdLi is by far the best remedy I’ve used. GerdLi offers great relief and the fact that it’s created by doctors makes it stand out even more.” MK, Happy Customer
GerdLi was developed over three years, and after three months of trials and testing, half the participants found improvement in their GERD symptoms. GerdLi may work as soon as one week and averages 2-4 weeks for relief of acid reflux symptoms. One study showed 72% of the participants experienced improvement within the 2-4 week period.
Although GerdLi is proven to alleviate heartburn and symptoms of GERD, lifestyle changes are just as crucial to a successful acid reflux regimen. GerdLi is meant to complement healthy lifestyle habits allowing patients to choose a natural way to relieve acid reflux and heartburn. Improved health includes staying active, eating clean foods and staying hydrated by drinking lots of water throughout the day.
GerdLi is manufactured in a special FDA-registered facility, ensuring it’s a safe supplement made with the highest quality ingredients. High-potency D-limonene is carefully sourced to be sure each bottle of GerdLi delivers the most effective results for reducing acid reflux. It works as an alkaline in the stomach to reduce acid, and its name is derived from lemon rinds, which have the highest concentration of limonene.
Once D-limonene is taken, it’s rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and distributed into tissue. GerdLi reduces heartburn and reflux symptoms and may help some people reduce the amount of prescription medication they take.
The mission at GerdLi is to help people suffering from acid reflux while offering them an alternative to prescription medications that often cause side effects. GerdLi also cares about creating a healthier world, donating part of its proceeds to support the Esophageal Cancer Society.
