AblePay Health and Healthcare Council of Western Pennsylvania Announce Partnership

Allentown PA. June 1, 2022: AblePay Health (AblePay) announced a strategic partnership with the Healthcare Council of Western Pennsylvania (HCWPA) to bring the AblePay model to its members.

HCWPA is a nonprofit regional trade association representing acute and non-acute facilities, organizations serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and specialty healthcare providers, in 30 counties in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

“We are excited to partner with the Healthcare Council of Western Pennsylvania,” said John Fistner, Founder and CEO. “Our platform accelerates revenues and removes the costs associated with collecting out-of-pocket payments for medical providers while completely changing the patient experience. Working with HCWPA will allow us to introduce our patient financial engagement program to a market that may be unfamiliar with how we are benefitting providers and their patients.” 

Nick Vizzoca, President of the Healthcare Council of Western Pennsylvania, said, “Our new partnership with AblePay Health creates an exciting and innovative opportunity for our members. We were intrigued by AblePay’s unique business model that allows medical providers to decrease costs and dramatically increase revenues while assisting their patients in diffusing rising out-of-pocket medical expenses. We’re thrilled to welcome AblePay to our association and are excited to see the impact that it will make for our Members and their Patients.”
