Recognition reflects the company’s commitment to employee engagement, workplace culture and organizational performance
HPS/PayMedix, a Milwaukee-based healthcare financing and payments platform, has been named a 2026 Best and Brightest Company to Work For winner in both the Milwaukee and national programs.
The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For program recognizes organizations that demonstrate strong workplace culture, employee engagement and organizational performance. Winners are evaluated across a range of areas, including compensation and benefits, wellness and wellbeing, recruitment and retention, communication, inclusion, leadership and business performance.
“At HPS/PayMedix, our ability to serve providers, employers, and consumers begins with the people behind our platform,” said Tom Policelli, CEO of HPS/PayMedix. “This recognition is especially meaningful as we continue to grow. We have made a deliberate choice to invest in our team with the same focus that we bring to our product, because an engaged and supported workforce is essential to delivering on our promise to providers and consumers.”
Some of the ways HPS/PayMedix invests in employee wellness and growth include:
- An annual HSA contribution, which covers 50% of the HDHP deductible, giving employees valuable employer funded support to help manage healthcare expenses.
- Supporting continued learning through available annual tuition reimbursement, dedicated study hours for employees pursuing certifications, and opportunities to attend industry conferences, seminars, and other professional development events.
- Biweekly companywide meetings for employees to foster continued open team dialogue and connection.
The recognition comes during a period of substantial growth for HPS/PayMedix. In January, HPS/PayMedix closed $33 million in equity and debt financing to accelerate the national expansion of its healthcare financing and payments platform. The financing included a $16 million growth-equity investment led by HLM Investment Partners, with participation from Escalate Capital Partners, RVM Enterprises and existing investor SV Health Investors, as well as a $17 million term-debt facility provided by Escalate Capital Partners.
In April, the company released an independently validated longitudinal analysis finding that employer groups using PayMedix experienced a 4.5% annual medical trend, compared with an 8.8% national benchmark referenced in the 2025 Milliman Medical Index, excluding pharmacy. The analysis also found greater use among members of lower-cost professional settings and consistent care utilization across household credit profiles– contributing to significant costs savings for employers and improved access to care for all members and their families.
HPS/PayMedix helps simplify the financial side of healthcare through an integrated suite of provider network, payment, and consumer financing solutions. PayMedix guarantees full, in-network payment to providers and gives members consolidated EOB and statements and interest-free financing up to their out-of-pocket maximum. TempoPay, part of the HPS/PayMedix family of solutions, extends that commitment by helping employees manage healthcare expenses with flexible, capped interest-free payment options. Together, these solutions reduce financial barriers to care while creating a more predictable payment experience for providers and patients.
