St. Louis, MO – February 4, 2011 – RedCard Systems together with One Call Medical are excited to announce a strategic partnership that enables RedCard payer clients to utilize One Call’s radiology management programs in a preferred arrangement and receive high quality diagnostic image testing at significantly lower costs. Under the new agreement, RedCard will place program instructions directly on payer ID cards so participants can access the over 3,000 contracted radiology centers nationally through One Calls’ concierge service. The One Call contracts have consistently shown savings of 60-75% over similar services received at hospitals and 30-40% over provider contracts with the same imaging centers. Eric Schaefer, RedCard’s President and COO states, “One of our goals when we started RedCard was to use the power of a well-designed ID card to highlight important information for plan members and providers. The One Call radiology management program is a natural fit for the ID cards we produce on behalf of our clients.” Don Duford, One Call Medical’s President noted that “High-end diagnostic imaging expenses are the biggest driver of medical inflation. Obtaining high-quality, well credentialed tests at contracted free standing facilities versus commonly used outpatient hospital locations can decrease costs of testing dramatically. Our programs ensure strong clinical quality,provide scheduling assistance to members and save money for both the member andthe plan. Through our partnership with RedCard, these programs are easily implemented on the ID card, enabling plans to realize immediate benefits.” About RedCard Systems RedCard is a healthcare technology and document processing company located in St. Louis, Missouri.
