The partnership between Texicare, the health affiliate of Texas Mutual, and TempoPay, a subsidiary of HPS/PayMedix, marks a significant step forward in addressing healthcare affordability for small business employees in Texas. This collaboration introduces the TempoPay Visa® card, a financial tool designed to allow employees to pay for a wide range of health-related expenses over time without the burden of interest, fees, or credit checks. With access to $1,500 in interest-free financing, Texicare members can now manage their out-of-pocket healthcare costs more effectively, aligning with their household budgets.
Meredith Duncan, CEO of Texicare, highlighted the partnership's goal to remove financial barriers to healthcare, emphasizing the importance of making medical care accessible to all members. This initiative aligns with Texicare's mission to innovate the healthcare ecosystem for small businesses, offering solutions that prioritize the well-being of employees and their families. Erika Davison-Aviles, Co-founder of TempoPay, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership, noting its potential to help hardworking Texans access necessary care without immediate financial strain.
The implications of this partnership extend beyond immediate financial relief. By integrating flexible payment options into health plans, small businesses in Texas can offer more comprehensive benefits, potentially leading to better health outcomes as employees are more likely to seek timely medical care. Furthermore, this model presents a creative solution to the broader issue of healthcare affordability, setting a precedent for other states and providers to follow.
