Partnership with Mastercard unlocks HealthLock services to all users of DataPath benefits debit cards
LITTLE ROCK, AR – July 19, 2023 – DataPath, a leading provider of technology and growth services for third-party administrators, has partnered with Mastercard and HealthLock to help consumers protect against medical bill fraud, claim errors, and overcharges.
DataPath HSA and FSA Mastercard cardholders that enroll in the HealthLock service can monitor and receive an automatic analysis of their medical claims, potentially reducing medical costs and preventing insurance claim rejections by identifying claim errors, overcharges, and potentially fraudulent bills.
The partnership with Mastercard and HealthLock will initially open the no-fee, core HealthLock breach alert and fraud remediation service to all enrolled users of DataPath debit cards, including the Summit card, mySourceCard®, and COMPASS™ card. Users will also receive a 90-day free trial of HealthLock’s premium claim auditing services and exclusive Mastercard subscription rates.
Medical overbilling, abuse, and fraud cost Americans an estimated $325 billion annually1 . More than half of medical bills contain errors. In 2022, there were more than 59 million cases of health record breaches and subsequent malicious activity, an increase of nearly 50% over the 40 million in 2020.
“We have always focused on providing our clients and their customers with effective tools for healthcare benefits administration and associated claims,” said John J. Robbins, Jr., DataPath president and CEO. “This partnership with Mastercard and HealthLock provides cardholders with a secure, accurate method of reducing costs related to fraudulent billings, overcharges, and claims errors,” he said.
Branded educational and promotional materials for the HealthLock service are available to DataPath’s TPA clients through their partner marketing portal. Current DataPath cardholders can receive more information and enroll in the HealthLock service by visiting healthlock.com/mcdp.
