Navicure, a leading healthcare payment solutions provider for hospitals, physician practices and billing companies, today announced the company recorded $63.3 million in revenue for 2013, a 24 percent increase in year-over-year revenue from 2012. The company's momentum continued with December's 56 percent bookings increase over December 2012.

Several factors contributed to Navicure's success, including a growing client base of health systems and billing services. The company added several health systems in the fourth quarter and developed key partnerships offering thousands of providers with access to Navicure. New health system clients chose the payment firm's technology so employees could use physician-centric tools to succeed in today's tough reimbursement environment and for Navicure's ability to integrate successfully with their practice management system software.

"We needed a solution that would not only accelerate our cash flow and improve staff productivity, but also integrate seamlessly with our future Epic practice management system implementation," said Bill Oliver, revenue cycle administrator for Lehigh Valley Physician Group, a subsidiary of Lehigh Valley Health Network that includes nearly 1,000 providers servicing the Allentown, Pa. region. "Navicure's award-winning claims management solution backed by its exceptional client service fit the bill. We look forward to a successful long-term relationship."

Organizations are also looking to have reliable healthcare payment tools in place as they prepare for the transition to ICD-10 and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. New clients also acknowledged they chose Navicure as their healthcare payments solution because of the company's ICD-10 preparedness coupled with their performance during the 5010 transition. Additionally, clients noted Navicure provides unique value through their acclaimed client service and the variety of complimentary educational resources available to help with ICD-10 training, including www.icd10hub.com and the newly launched ICD-10 Analyzer TM.

"2013 was another exciting year for Navicure," said Jim Denny, co-founder and president of Navicure. "Even more gratifying than our financial results is the fact that we were able to make inroads with both health systems and billing service companies. We'll help them and all of our clients prepare for both ICD-10 and the ACA transitions. Our current and new products launching in 2014 are designed to enable our clients to transition as easily through these changes as past transitions."
