Eye Care International Practitioners to Benefit from Innovative Consumer

MinervaHealth, Inc. and Eye Care International Inc. have joined together to offer practitioners in ECI's nationwide network access to MinervaHealth's innovative consumer healthcare financing platform. MinervaHealth provides individual healthcare consumers with Medical Bank Accounts to pay for their own out-of-pocket healthcare needs. Medical Bank Accounts give members the freedom and flexibility to determine how they want to manage the dollars spent on traditional, and now, eye care services and hardware through ECI.

ECI Practitioners will enjoy many benefits from accepting MinervaHealth. Timely and guaranteed payment is the most appealing benefit. With MinervaHealth practitioners are able to verify, before rendering services, that the patient has funds available to pay for the services.

All claims for MinervaHealth members are submitted directly to MinervaHealth for adjudication and prompt payment. David Turquié, president and CEO of MinervaHealth explains, By reducing receivables and simplifying the payment process, practitioners are better equipped to focus on providing quality patient care. We are delighted to enter into this long term relationship with MinervaHealth.

For MinervaHealth members the program provides excellent access to our quality practitioners in a cost-effective manner said Clark A. Marcus, president and CEO of ECI, More and more consumers across the country are spending out of pocket dollars outside of their insurance benefits for eye care products and services.

The innovative program offered by MinervaHealth allows consumer’s financial flexibility as well as confidence when selecting the eye care practitioners Through this affiliation, MinervaHealth members and affiliates will have access to ECI's nationwide panel of eye care professionals.
