The official clearing organisation for the private healthcare sector has cleared nearly 20% more invoices by the end of July, compared with the same point in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total value of invoices cleared up to July 2023 is approximately \u00a32.5billion, funds that have helped private sector providers grow their businesses, giving their patients, both private and NHS, the care they need. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthcode released the data to coincide with its AGM in London on Thursday 7 September. Following the meeting, Healthcode hosted a special Showcase event to celebrate its achievements over the past 20 years and give stakeholders a glimpse of what\u2019s in store over the next few years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Connor, Healthcode\u2019s Managing Director, commented: \u201cAfter achieving great things in 2022, private healthcare providers are treating more insured patients than ever this year and we\u2019re seeing year on year growth across every region, care setting and specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m proud that Healthcode\u2019s technology is helping to power the sector forward on several fronts at a time when health provision is a national priority. That includes the clearing technology that rapidly clears insurer invoices so providers can realise income of \u00a31bn each Quarter; our Secure Messaging service which industry professionals use to send more than 350,000 electronic messages each year, sharing confidential information in support of patient care; and The PPR which now has more than 38,000 registered practitioners and has become the information hub for the sector, driving collaboration and streamlining the practising privileges process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUltimately, Healthcode succeeds when we\u2019re aligned to the needs of our stakeholders and our new ICE integrated channel exchange is yet another example, finally making real-time appointment booking a reality for the private healthcare sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Headlines from Healthcode\u2019s latest analysis of insurer invoice activity which covers January to July 2023:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Episode setting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Between January and July 2023, the averaged year-on-year growth in non-hospital billing volumes was 27%, while for hospital billing volumes it was 13%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Between January and July 2023, the averaged year-on-year growth was 13% for outpatients and 16% for admitted patients.
