Medicaid Billing Analyst
When searching for a company to support our district's Medicaid service documentation, Relay was the one company that understood each layer of this work and had solutions to simplify our processes. The team has been easy to work with, extremely responsive, and has truly built a system for our district.
Medicaid Analyst
Before Relay, we did not have a centralized system to document all our reimbursable education based Medicaid claims. We needed a format that was not only transparent and easy to use, but also allowed us to determine where we were coming up short and dive deeper into untapped streams of reimbursement that we were already providing, but just not claiming using relay, we now have a centralized system for documenting the services that we were already and continue to provide, along with greatly increasing our reimbursement due to claims being formatted and submitted in accordance with our state's regulations.

I've had the pleasure of partnering with Relay, and it has been a great and positive experience. The software is very user-friendly, and providers can quickly log services. Relay has saved us time, reduced billing errors, and allowed us to focus on increasing our reimbursements. One of the standout aspects of working with Relay is the exceptional support from our client success manager, who is always responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive in addressing any concerns.
