Summary
Listen in as we chat with Rachel Mertensmeyer about why and how she created RexPay, the app that's helping consumers manage their medical bills.
Healthcare consumers are frustrated by the mix of medical bills they receive from multiple providers. Rachel Mertensmeyer started RexPay® to help consumers understand, manage, and pay all those medical bills in one place, through a simple smartphone app. But what consumers don't see when they use the app is something working behind the scenes: the Change Healthcare API & Services Connection, which helps power the solution.
