ATLANTA, CHICAGO, LOUISVILLE – June 28, 2018 — Waystar™, the combination of Navicure® and ZirMed® revenue cycle technologies, today announced Steve Oreskovich has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Steve will assume CFO responsibilities from Jim Lacy, who continues in his role as Waystar’s Counsel and will lead corporate strategy as Chief Strategy Officer focused on partnerships and mergers and acquisitions. With more than 20 years of experience driving revenue and structural improvements with leading healthcare and technology companies, Steve joins Waystar at a time of strong revenue and profitability growth following the recent merger of Navicure and ZirMed.

Waystar’s next-generation technology combined with industry-leading client service enable it to simplify and unify revenue cycle management in a way that has never been done. The best part is that Waystar is just getting started, even as one of the largest companies in the industry. I’m looking forward to helping lead this successful company to the next level.” Jim Lacy added, “I have enjoyed getting to know Steve throughout our rigorous search process and am excited to collaborate with him on future growth opportunities with Waystar.”
“Steve is an exceptional addition to Waystar’s already strong leadership team,” said Matt Hawkins, Waystar’s CEO. “There’s an incredible energy to our organization as we concurrently integrate the two leading providers of revenue cycle technology and grow the combined company.
