The Managed Care Resource Alliance (MCRA) has a unique collaborative approach that brings managed care vendors together to solve problems. Today's interview is a success story of these partnerships.
In this MCRA Industry Leader Interview, Command Direct's President & CEO, Gary Bolnick, along with TPS Payments' Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Bianca Carr, discuss the topic of "Driving Transformation: A Collaborative Journey in Patient Engagement and Member Incentives" with MCRA Marketing Manager, Rebecca Preslar.
"Together we have an opportunity to change the way incentive programs are created, managed and reported. We're very excited about what's to come." —Gary Bolnick
Command Direct provides a wide range of communications to Health Plans. Prior to partnering with TPS Payments, Command’s solution focused mainly on the operational side of incentive programs, such as design, print, and mail. They found most of the campaigns to be limited with little insight into how to better engage with patients to achieve better results. This was where the exciting partnership with TPS Payments began.
Launched in 2023, “Command Direct - Powered by TPS Payments” is a powerful solution that has already demonstrated its effectiveness. The platform is built on TPS Payments' industry leading platform which provides patients with a simple approach to redeeming a broad range of incentives but incorporates a high level of flexibility. There are no “one size fits all” incentive solutions and this approach allows Health Plans to tailor their strategies to their specific markets, lines of business, and unique marketing approaches.
