BillingTree Speaking at American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management ANI 2010

Phoenix – BillingTree, Inc., one of the nation’s leading on-demand payment processors, announced today its Director of Product Development, Holly Merrill (AAP), will be presenting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on October 15 during the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) ANI. The ANI (Annual National Institute), now in its 41st year, is typically attended by over 500 healthcare administrative professionals.

Ms. Merrill’s presentation will address the complex billing and payment challenges healthcare administrators face as they look to understand and manage new payment channels, remain compliant, and grow their practice by meeting the expectations of their patients.

"By its nature, Consumer Driven Healthcare is complex and filled with regulatory and client requirements, sometimes making the entire process overwhelming," said Merrill. "Healthcare providers are seeking ways to optimize their billing platforms and maximize their profits in order to be the consumer-driven expert and maintain the latest knowledge in payment technology."

Currently, Ms. Merrill leads BillingTree’s product development utilizing her 34 years of payments experience to enhance the company’s traditional payment offerings (check, electronic check, ACH, credit and debit card) to expanded services such as stored value accounts, mobile strategies, cash payments and other innovative payments tools. Prior to joining BillingTree, she served as CEO of Payments Resource One providing ACH Operator services, ACH Association Services, Check Clearing House, Point-of-Sale Network, audit services as well as nationally recognized payments education and certification programs. She has also served on NACHA’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee and participated in the design of numerous ACH applications and ACH rules amendments.

BillingTree supplies the leading fully integrated, multi-channel electronic payment platform to a growing list of Industries, including Utilities, such as power, cable, municipal, and phone, as well as Healthcare and Subscription-billed services.
