MaxMD, a leader in secure healthcare information technology and interoperability solutions, has been named an approved vendor by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to give patients access to their Explanation of Benefit (EOB) information. CMS offers digital access to four years of Medicare Part A, B and D data for 53 million Medicare beneficiaries. CMS Blue Button 2.0 is an Application Programming Interface (API) that consumers use to query for their EOBs with a mobile App that has been certified by CMS to access the information. As the United States moves toward supporting a modern health app ecosystem, MaxMD remains at the forefront of technology innovation that delivers on the patient’s right to their medical records.
MaxMD Mobile App offers breakthrough capabilities for individuals seeking to access and manage their healthcare information. The app runs on Android and iOS enabled devices and allows users to query and consolidate clinical data received from their care providers and Explanation of Benefits information from their insurance carriers. This increased visibility into one’s own clinical data and encounter history puts patients at the center of their care and makes it easier for them to participate in their own care.
What is the real benefit of being able to see your EOBs and health records from your phone? MaxMD Mobile App user Lisa Nelson explains, “I can make better decisions about the care I receive once I can see and understand the costs associated with the services and medications.” Nelson believes consumers will play an important role in the nation’s shift toward value-based care. “We understand health outcomes in a very personal way. It's our lives that are impacted by the quality and cost of care,” she explains. “MaxMD Mobile App gives me access to the information I need to be a smarter healthcare consumer and a secure way to interact with care providers, not just for me, but for my whole family. My phone is my smallest computer, and I have it with me all the time. This app puts power in the palm of my hand to engage with my entire care team any time, from anywhere, in a way I never could before via phone, fax, and mail.”
