Company’s healthcare cost containment program has international appeal
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – (November 3, 2016) MedEncentive, LLC, a leader in the area of healthcare cost containment, has been invited to join the U.S. Department of Commerce delegation to Health Achieve 2016, one of Canada’s largest health conferences. The conference will take place in Toronto, beginning November 7 through November 9.
“We are honored to be invited to this important event as guests of the Department of Commerce,” said Jeff Greene, MedEncentive CEO and founder. “Our invitation comes as a result of the Canadian patent we earned recently. It is also a testament to how our program’s concept of promoting health literacy to improve health and lower costs, can be exported throughout the world.”
The MedEncentive program compensates physicians for accessing its website to prescribe relevant educational content to their patients with each office visit. The patients are directed to the website at home after their office visits, where they can earn a financial reward when they complete their information therapy prescriptions by demonstrating to their doctors their understanding of the prescribed content. This process is referred to as “learn to earn.”
The program also creates a beneficial check and balance between doctors and patients that motivates better care and healthier behaviors, referred to as “mutual accountability.”
“I am pleased our office was able to coordinate with the U.S. Consulate in Montreal to facilitate MedEncentive’s invitation to Health Achieve 2016,” said Ashley Wilson, International Trade Specialist with the U.S. Department of Commerce. “We think this will be an excellent opportunity for MedEncentive to learn about the Canadian healthcare system and make valuable contacts to help them export their services to Canada.
