BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. and GTESS Corporation today announced the completion of  $6 Million in new debt financing for GTESS, a leading provider of claims automation software services to the healthcare industry. 

"BlueCrest's growth financing will help us continue successful sales and implementations of claims automation technology to the healthcare market," said Deborah M. Gage, GTESS President and CEO.  "BlueCrest’s team understood our need to maintain status as a top software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider and they structured a deal to match our strategic goals."

Based in Richardson, TX, GTESS provides hosted technology solutions on a subscription basis that automate healthcare claims and transaction processing.  GTESS systems eliminate the need for human intervention in the claims and payment process, replacing off-shore, outsourced or internal solutions with technology that vastly improves payment accuracy and reduces cycle time.  This leads to significantly reduced costs and improved adjudication for major healthcare provider and payer organizations.

"GTESS has developed a proven claims processing technology solution to address rising cost and declining quality issues in the healthcare industry," said Michael Marziani, Managing Director of BlueCrest Capital Finance.  "And, they continue to demonstrate market viability as their technology addresses broader and more complex claims-handling issues more efficiently than internal solutions or offshore outsourcing options."
