On a Mission
At Zelis, we are passionate about working to reduce the rising cost of healthcare in America. We are on a mission to help make healthcare more affordable and more understandable for all of us.
We partner with healthcare payers and providers to connect consumers with providers; to ensure claims are appropriate to pay; to enable efficient, effective electronic payments; and to ensure clear, understandable provider and consumer communications.
We use a disruptive pre-payment approach, applying claims cost solutions before a claim is paid to ensure claims are paid appropriately the first time around. We are proud to have helped more than 700 payers save more than $27 billion in network and claims cost since inception; and to have delivered more than $50 billion in annual payments to more than 700,000 contracted providers on behalf of 330+ payer clients, and more than 500 million payment data communications annually
