Aptarro and Nextech Announce Strategic Partnership to Simplify Revenue Cycle Management for Specialty Healthcare Groups
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aptarro (formerly Alpha II, LLC), a leading provider of Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) solutions for healthcare networks across the U.S., is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Nextech, a provider of award-winning, specialty-specific software solutions. Aptarro's RevCycle Engine is a powerful, proven solution built to simplify and automate revenue cycle operations for large, complex organizations—making it a strong fit for Nextech's specialty-focused customer base, which includes large ophthalmology practices. "Providers are doing everything they can, but getting paid keeps getting harder," said Lori Jones, Chief Growth Officer at Aptarro. "Payer rules shift constantly. Teams are stretched thin. And too much time is wasted fixing the same billing issues again and again. This is exactly why we help our customers catch errors early, automate what's repetitive, and free up their teams to focus on what matters most." Nextech customers will now have access to this best-in-class platform as part of the company's ongoing mission to serve specialty practices with innovative, scalable solutions. With the addition of Aptarro's engine to the Nextech ecosystem, customers will benefit from fewer claim errors, faster payments, and less friction in their billing processes. Practices can redirect their teams toward more valuable work instead of chasing down denials or fixing preventable mistakes, leading to stronger operational performance and improved revenue outcomes. "Specialty groups face some of the toughest challenges in revenue cycle—and they deserve technology that's built for them," added Lori Jones. "This partnership combines Aptarro's automation with Nextech's deep specialty focus, helping practices simplify billing, reduce denials, and get paid faster." "This is a meaningful step toward simplifying the business side of medicine for our clients," said Mike Bursich, Chief Revenue Officer at Nextech. "We're thrilled to partner with Aptarro to offer our customers a solution that truly makes a difference. Revenue cycle complexity continues to be a major challenge for specialty groups. With Aptarro's proven engine, we're giving our clients a way to simplify operations, increase revenue, and focus on what matters most: caring for their patients."

CNN reports 'reversing DEI hurts the workplace,' could increase discrimination and harassment lawsuits
CNN reported on Tuesday that removing diversity, equity and inclusion programs could "undo the progress" of making "workplaces more inclusive and supportive," potentially leading to lower employee retention and an increase in discrimination lawsuits. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, he has signed multiple executive orders demanding the elimination of DEI programs and offices in the federal government. Several major corporations, including the retail giant Walmart, have also announced efforts to scale back and even eliminate DEI programs within their companies. As both the private and public sectors roll back these initiatives, CNN reported on "how reversing DEI hurts the workplace." According to CNN, Nextech chief customer officer and DEI advocate Naomi "Wheeless worries some companies may be reluctant to hire too many non-White people because of how it might be perceived." "Subconsciously, hiring decisions could start to sway, promotional decisions could start to sway in such a way that it becomes harder for these groups to get ahead," she warned. "We have suffered in silence for so long, then we worked very hard to try to level the playing field," she added. "We begin to see the fruits of that labor and now the rug is being snatched from under our feet." Rafael Fantauzzi, a former DEI chief of a pharmaceutical company, suggested some "underrepresented" communities might leave their jobs altogether because they "don't feel valued" without DEI initiatives. "The result is a loss of talent that, in some cases, might be hard to replace," the CNN report said. "There is fear and the fear is real," Fantauzzi said. "I think some of the fear is a lack of understanding. What are the repercussions?" Shaun Harper, founder of the Race & Equity Center at the University of Southern California, went further and claimed removing DEI programs could open companies up to more lawsuits because policies and trainings on discrimination and harassment would cease. According to CNN, "Harper said the dismantling of DEI offices may lead to more harassment and discrimination lawsuits against companies because the policies and people that hold employees accountable won't be there. In many cases, DEI offices are charged with training workers on preventing unconscious bias, discrimination, inequities and sexual harassment." "Existing inequities are going to widen, they are going to worsen as a result of this," Harper said.
