The contest calls for thinkers in the healthcare space to streamline the medical billing procedure to facilitate more patient-centered requirements.

The medical billing procedure must become more intuitive in case to empower patient-centered care, states the Department of Health and Human Services.

For those reasons, the agency has declared a competition calling on various thinkers in the healthcare space to establish a better medical billing process to better serve patient satisfaction. The competition was declared at the Health Datapalooza, according to an HHS press release.

The competition, entitled “A Bill You Can Understand” challenges health care organizations, digital health developers, and designers to make a bill that is “simpler, cleaner, and easier for sufferers to understand.”

All of this is a part of the greater goal for more robust patient-centered care.
