“ApprioHealth’s ability to attract new clients, and even more importantly, to service them in the manner they need and deserve, requires incredibly strong people leading our development and client teams. I can’t think of two better people than Rodney and Jude,” said Donny Zamora, president of ApprioHealth. “Our goal is to deliver concierge-like services to our hospital and health system clients. We want them to know their needs are our top priority, and we will deliver on our promise to help them maximize their revenues. Rodney and Jude know how to run well-managed RCM programs, and our customers will directly benefit from their professionalism, intelligence and energy.”

Zamora continued, “At ApprioHealth, we’re looking to change the way hospitals and healthcare systems envision enrollment, disability and third-party liability. It’s not just an opportunity to improve the bottom line; it’s also an opportunity to deepen relationships with their patients. Rodney and Jude will be instrumental in working with our clients’ patients to help them find and enroll in the payer and social services for which they qualify. The result will be patients who feel more supported, and hospital systems getting paid for the valuable services they provide.”
