Intuit, the maker of the popular Quicken Personal Finance Software and UnitedHealth Group announced last week their intent to develop a series of Quicken-branded software products to help consumers more effectively manage their health care use. Although not scheduled for release until 2007, Intuit and UnitedHealth are already encouraging other health firms to join the initiative. The software is to be designed to allow consumers to view and organize payments and medical records from both their doctors and hospital. ManagingMoney.com thinks this idea is way overdue and wish it was available yesterday as opposed to 2007. We will keep you informed as to the actual product launch.
