MediKeeper Inc., a provider of web-based health management tools and solutions announced today that it has been selected by First HSA to provide for their customers a family of health and wellness tools and services.

MediKeeper has developed a series of new and transformational tools that allow members to increase the quality of healthcare they receive, decrease their healthcare costs and increase their safety and security. The product designed by physicians incorporates; personal health records, health risk assessment, medication tracking, health information from the Mayo Clinic, and tools to become more savvy health care consumers.

First HSA will be marketing these products to their clients, which includes over 23,000 individuals and employer groups. In this role, they will also be acting as a wholesaler for MediKeeper products to the agents and brokers.

MediKeeper serves as both a health management tool and a health care “coach” educating patients and promoting preventative, high quality medicine. Virtually anyone can benefit from MediKeeper. The recently developed “Gold” product is designed for persons enrolled in a Consumer Driven Health Plan, such as Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements.

William West Jr. MD stated, “MediKeeper allows our clients to have easy access to their healthcare information. The product will improve quality of care and prevent duplication and over-utilization of healthcare services”. MediKeeper is another excellent value-add product available to First HSA clients.

Dr. Bruce Tarzy, CEO and Chief Medical Officer of MediKeeper stated, “We are excited about being affiliated with First HSA. They offer a great value to their clients and are always seeking to provide the highest level of service in the industry.” “As a physician, I have found that over the years patients have started to become more involved in their health care, especially those enrolled in Health Savings Accounts.” “These plans require individuals to become a better healthcare consumer, which was not the case with Managed Care plans.” “As patients evolve into interactive consumers, they will need the tools and information that will allow them to change their behavior and even make alternative treatment decisions. We designed MediKeeper to be the tool that can accelerate this process.”
