MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, N.J. – NikoHealth has expanded its collaboration with Availity as a clearinghouse partner, in the wake of a cyberattack on Change Healthcare.
By integrating Availity's clearinghouse services into its ecosystem, NikoHealth reinforces its position as a software solutions partner that not only anticipates challenges but also delivers swift and effective solutions, the company says.
"Our clients' ongoing business operations and operational continuity are our utmost priorities," said Michael Kutsak, CEO at NikoHealth. "In light of the recent challenges posed by the Change Healthcare outage, we took decisive action to secure a robust solution that aligns with our commitment to reliability and agility. Partnering with Availity exemplifies our proactive approach and unwavering dedication to supporting our clients through any unforeseen circumstances."
Change Healthcare, which is used by those software companies for processing insurance claims and billing, was hacked on Feb. 21 by a threat actor named “ALPHV/Blackcat,” forcing it to disconnect its systems.
