MILWAUKEE (Jan. 3, 2017) – Health Payment Systems, Inc. (HPS), a Milwaukee-based company that enhances
the health care billing experience for consumers, employers and providers, today announced the appointment
of Terry Rowinski as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President of HPS. Jay Fulkerson will remain as a strategic
advisor and board member for the company.
Rowinski joined HPS in 2014 as Chief Information Officer to enhance IT and operational infrastructure at HPS. In

strategy to guide day-to-day operations of the business. Rowinski has over 25 years of experience in technology,
and business operations, driving substantial business growth, while fostering a culture of employee engagement
and collaboration.
Fulkerson, formerly CEO of United Healthcare’s Central Region, and prior to that, CEO of Touchpoint Health Plan,
joined HPS in 2011 as Executive Vice President. In 2013, he became President and CEO, leading the company
through a tremendous period of growth and profitability. He drove the significant expansion of the HPS provider

been invaluable,” said Paul Zucarelli, Chairman of the HPS Board.
Fulkerson and Rowinski’s collaboration has put HPS in a position of strength to drive increasing client value for
2018 and beyond. Together they have directed the company toward building and enhancing HPS’s partnerships

define economic value from HPS, resulting in improved health care provider contracts, ultimately enhancing the
value of HPS to all constituents in the market. Rowinski has also initiated HPS 3.0 to develop and deploy
technology-centric components of the HPS product to support the continuing needs of an evolving health care
