Startup SwervePay acquires StatPayMD to grow medical payments business

After raising $10 million in funding from investors, medical payment startup SwervePay has acquired cost transparency startup, StatPayMD, reports Crain's Chicago Business.

Through the acquisition, SwervePay aims to speedup payment processing and payment delivery for providers. 

"By using technology to automate processes, such as bill payments, we can allow healthcare providers to stay focused on patient care," SwervePay CEO Jaeme Adams told Crain's

The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
