ACI
Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of electronic
payment and banking solutions, today announced that
Horizon Healthcare Services, Inc., New Jersey’s oldest and largest
health insurer, is leveraging ACI’s UP Bill
Payment solutions to power mobile, web, IVR (interactive voice
response), call center, card and ACH payment options on one integrated
payment system.
The Affordable Care Act has transformed healthcare in the U.S., giving
insurers the opportunity to grow their businesses by forging direct
relationships with customers. Horizon anticipated the change and
selected ACI to replace its legacy in-house payment system, resulting in
a significant reduction in staff time spent on payment processing,
allowing them to focus on digital usage growth. From January to July
2014, Horizon has seen a 120 percent increase in electronic bill
payments among its customer base of more than 3.7 million members.
“Horizon is focused on convenience and ease of use for all of our
members and customers,” said William Wolfe Director of Billing,
Enrollment, and Implementation, Horizon Healthcare Services, Inc. “ACI’s
system provides our members with choice, access, and convenience that
enables Horizon to work more effectively and efficiently to meet their
increased billing and enrollment needs.”
“Horizon’s dramatic increase in electronic bill payments usage speaks to
the evolving preferences of its members, who see the benefits of quick
and easy bill pay,” said Scott Fitzgerald, Vice President and Product
Line Manager, ACI Worldwide. “Our integrated, end-to-end UP Bill Payment
Solutions meet all consumer payment preferences while also providing a
seamless user experience.”
