About this event

Rachel Mertensmeyer has long been captivated by understanding the consumer mindset and making people’s lives better with product innovation. She has a decade of marketing management experience in Fortune 100 companies including Unilever and Avon in New York and BBDO and WPP in Shanghai. Rachel’s first professional opportunity supported her entrepreneurial nature as she was tasked with the ground floor development of sales distribution in Eastern Asia for an American wine company. In 2016, while living in New York City, Rachel experienced medical bill mayhem personally. This experience spurred her to apply her consumer product innovation background to create a better medical payments solution for patients. This is how Rivia Health was born in 2018. Rachel credits her remarkable set of advisors and strong founding team with the early success and fast paced traction Rivia Health has achieved. As a leader, Rachel places great focus on creating a holistic, respectful and cooperative work environment for her team. On a more personal note, Rachel places a high value on physical health and wellbeing for herself and for those around her. In her free time, she can be found teaching yoga, trail running in the deserts of Arizona, or making time for her friends and family. Rachel is looking forward to growing and adapting Rivia Health to continue to serve patients through the ever changing healthcare terrain we inhabit.

Rivia Health is an innovative medical billing app where patients can easily understand, manage, and pay all of their medical bills & check insurance coverage in one place. By making it easier for patients to pay, Rivia Health helps providers reduce delayed & defaulted payments, improves patient satisfaction, and cuts down operating costs.
