About CarePay International

CarePay International, established in 2015, operates as a key facilitator in the healthcare financing space, connecting members, healthcare providers, and payers through a mobile health platform. The company was co-founded by Onno Schellekens and Maarten van der Dussen, who serve as Group CEO and Group CCO, respectively. Schellekens, a medical doctor with a background in public health and insurance, previously held a managing director role at the PharmAccess Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving healthcare access in Africa. This experience directly shaped CarePay's mission to make healthcare more accessible and affordable. Van der Dussen brings a wealth of experience from the mobile telecommunications and payments industry, having worked with companies like KPN and LogicaCMG, which complements the technological foundation of the platform.

The core of CarePay's business is its platform, which digitizes and automates healthcare payment processes. For insurers and other payers, the platform provides real-time administration of health plans, fraud detection capabilities, and valuable data insights for better risk management and product development. Healthcare providers benefit from faster claim processing and guaranteed payments, reducing administrative burdens and improving cash flow. The platform serves a diverse client base, including insurance companies, governments, and corporate entities that provide health coverage to their employees and beneficiaries. Revenue is generated through a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model, where clients pay a fee for utilizing the technology to manage their health schemes.

The platform functions as a comprehensive mobile-first solution. Patients can use their mobile phones to access information about their health plan, find healthcare providers, and manage their benefits. A key feature is the real-time processing of claims at the point of care, which ensures transparency and efficiency for all parties involved. By creating a closed-loop system, CarePay's technology helps in curbing fraudulent activities and reducing administrative overhead. The system is designed to be interoperable, connecting seamlessly with existing hospital management and insurance systems. This infrastructure provides high-quality, structured data, preparing the healthcare sector for future applications of artificial intelligence while adhering to strict data privacy standards like GDPR.
