“Our goal is to improve the quality of the medical care you are receiving. It is fairly shocking to see that healthcare providers have to wait up to six months to get paid for the services they deliver to us,” he said. “When healthcare providers are limited by unpredictable cash flow, they are unable to pay highly qualified professionals, reducing the quality of the medical care we all receive.
