Local Business Leaders Launch Healthcare Innovation Company to Support Rural Medical Facilities

Harlan-Based Healthcare Efficiencies Inc. Aims to Revitalize Rural Healthcare Through Technology and Innovation

When Clayton Bretey and Randy Mortensen joined forces to launch Healthcare Efficiencies Inc., they weren't just starting another business – they were answering a pressing need in rural healthcare. With over 600 hospitals at risk of closure across the United States and rural facilities facing particular challenges, their mission became clear: help medical providers recover lost revenue and strengthen healthcare in smaller communities.

A Partnership Born from Shared Values

The company's story began when Bretey, a Harlan resident with experience in expense reduction consulting, discovered an opportunity to help medical facilities recover underpaid insurance claims. At an industry conference, he met Mortensen, an Iowa native with extensive business growth experience who shared his vision for supporting rural communities.

"Even though all our insurance premiums are increasing monthly, there's really an imbalance. Many people aren't aware of how much distress there is in the healthcare industry, particularly for providers," explains Mortensen, who serves as Chief Revenue Officer.

Innovative Solutions for Healthcare Providers

Healthcare Efficiencies Inc. specializes in helping medical facilities optimize their operations and recover revenue through advanced software solutions. Their flagship service helps providers identify and recover insurance underpayments – funds that rightfully belong to healthcare facilities but often go uncollected due to complex billing systems.

"We help healthcare providers optimize their net income while providing quality healthcare and value to their patients," says Bretey, the company's president. "Our solutions address everything from diagnostic efficiency to revenue recovery, ultimately enabling facilities to better serve their communities."

Making a Difference in Rural Communities

The company's focus on rural healthcare is personal for both founders. "Even though I've had great global success, this is all about the impact on these local communities," Mortensen shares. "We're really looking at the foundation that my life was built on, going back and helping people that aren't doing anything wrong – they just don't have the systems integrated."

What sets Healthcare Efficiencies Inc. apart is their approach to partnership. They work alongside existing medical staff, supplementing their expertise with cutting-edge technology. There's no upfront cost to facilities – the company only succeeds when their clients do.

Supporting Healthcare Beyond Revenue

The impact extends beyond financial benefits. When medical facilities recover these funds, they can invest in their staff, expand services, and support community initiatives. Some partner facilities have used recovered funds to develop affordable housing programs or enhance early childhood education in their communities.

"We firmly believe in being woven into the marketplace and making a real difference in these communities," Bretey emphasizes. "It's about helping these facilities not just survive, but thrive and expand their positive impact."
