Tellus Wellness Partners with Nomi Health to Pay Providers Faster

Tellus Wellness offers a complementary medicine program to employers funding health benefits for their employees and families. High-touch and low-cost modalities such as acupuncture, chiropractic and naturopathic medicine, therapeutic massage, and nutritional counseling help to improve well-being, moderate traditional medical spending, and provide a differentiator to the employer for employee recruitment and retention.?

Members are interested in integrating these complementary medicine services into their overall healthcare. These services offer alternatives to costly treatments, such as invasive procedures or prescription medications that may have significant side effects. However, members are often unsure where to turn for trusted care.?

The Tellus Wellness program provides technology that educates enrolled individuals on complementary medicine while guiding them to vetted, in-network providers in their area who specialize in services with the greatest potential to positively impact their symptoms and achieve desired health goals.??

The Provider Challenge:?

Complementary medicine providers also face barriers to making care more accessible. They often hesitate to contract with insurance companies or third-party administrators due to the labor-intensive claims and payment processes.?

Tellus Wellness has implemented an innovative solution that omits the hassle-filled HCFA 1500 claims form required by insurers/payors. Through partnering with Nomi Health Financial Services, Tellus Wellness spares its network from the typical 30-60-day payor payment cycle and slashes payment processing to 24 hours or less.???

The Provider Network:?

The Tellus Wellness provider network is carefully curated based on criteria including licensure, education level, years of experience, and customer satisfaction ratings. A physician-led credentialing committee ensures that only the highest-performing and qualified providers participate in this network.?

Because most complementary providers are wary of contracting with insurers and third-party payers due to the hassles of processing claims and collecting payments, Tellus Wellness set out to simplify this payment quandary in order to attract the top providers in their specialty.?

Tellus Wellness has partnered with Nomi Health to improve the provider payment process, differentiating their organization as a leader in attracting the best complementary providers. This partnership allows Tellus Wellness to leverage Nomi's innovative payment process, enabling provider payments to occur in 24 hours or less from the time of care.??

A Winning Outcome:?

By offering seamless payments with Nomi Health, Tellus Wellness can better enrich and expand its network, providing a richer, more cost-effective benefit for the employers and members they serve.?

Angela Cash, business owner of Help with Massage, which offers therapeutic massage to Tellus Wellness members, said, "I am super excited to be part of the Tellus Wellness and Nomi team. This has been a great addition to our practice as independent providers. I love the partnership; the turn-around time for the revenue cycle is amazing. We are glad to be a part of such an innovative addition to holistic health care."?

Dr. Hunter Greenwood, another Tellus Wellness network provider, is the business owner of Chiropractic Plus and is licensed in chiropractic and naturopathic medicine. When speaking of the difference streamlined payments have made in his practice compared to other systems, Dr. Greenwood stated, "It may take months to receive reimbursement from some insurance companies… Getting paid in full faster allows our office to put our energies into improving patient experience, instead of hours spent trying to ascertain benefits or receive proper payment…".?
