IRON MOUNTAIN — HealthBridge Financial Inc. celebrated joining the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in April.

“We are pleased to be part of the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce to support the stability and growth of the Dickinson area business community,” said Jim Slubowski, chief strategy officer.

Dickinson County Healthcare System, part of Marshfield Clinic Health System, recently joined the HealthBridge Provider Network — a network of health systems providing a financial safety net for patients with employer-sponsored health insurance. The HealthBridge solution complements an employer’s health plan, helping covered participants manage and pay for out-of-pocket medical costs.

“Employers in Dickinson County are adding the HealthBridge benefit to their employee benefits and we’re grateful to the Chamber for their support in helping us cross the bridge and offer our solution in the UP,” said Val Cramer, vice president of sales for HealthBridge.

HealthBridge Financial, Inc. provides a resource to help members bridge the gap between the high cost of health care and their financial wellbeing. The HealthBridge benefit helps them access care and afford the balances due after a health event with a single consolidated monthly statement and consumer-friendly repayment terms.

HealthBridge network providers can spend more time focusing on care with more predictable patient payments. HealthBridge runs on a proprietary software platform. HealthBridge is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For more information, go to the HealthBridge website at www.myhealthbridge.com or LinkedIn page.
