Formativ Health announced this afternoon it will open a patient access services center in Jacksonville that will hire about 500 employees.
The company expects to begin training staff next month, with partial operations scheduled to begin in April, according to a news release.
Build-out for four floors in an office building at 4875 Belfort Road will begin immediately but aren’t expected to be completed until mid-2018.
Formativ was founded this month by Northwell Health and Pamplona Care Management. The release said the company “offers comprehensive management services to assist physician practices, including tailored revenue cycle management solutions, patient access services, physician practice management and advisory services.”
Mayor Lenny Curry said in the release the venture is proof of momentum building in the city, especially in the health and life science sector.
“As a company that supports the medical community by making their operations more efficient and productive, Formativ Health will enhance Jacksonville’s presence in this all-important sector of our economy,” Curry said.
Formativ Health CEO Dennis Dowling said Jacksonville has “an extraordinary labor force that will enable us to meet our patients’ expectations.”
