OUR PROCESS

How it Works

SVG-1

You upload your patient statements

Export your patient statements as a file from your practice software (EMR), instead of printing them to paper each month.  (We show you how to export.)  Then upload that file to us.

Patients get their statements and follow up

We print, mail, email and present the invoices to patients online.  We charge the Autopay patients.  And follow-up with reminder letters for slow payers.  All communication is workflow-based,  patient-friendly, and has your branding.

Patient payments come to you

Paper checks and online payments are deposited to your bank account, which are posted to your practice software (EMR).  To speed up payments we do: Autopay, Payment Plans, and Collection Agency team (optional).

Cash flow
CASH FLOW

More payments from patients, in less time

We help you automate your patient billing, follow-up and payments.  Cash flow goes  up, and AR goes down.

Use the best technology for your patient billing, to get immediate ROI.  Just like you currently upload electronic claims to insurances and get back payments, so too, you can now upload a statement file to us, and get back patient payments. 
AR Aging - product

  Multi-channel bill delivery

Delivery preferences are personalized: paper, email, online, telephone, text (coming soon).  This increases patient responses.

  Personalized wording

The bill messaging is based on the balance age.  Patients are segmented by persona: diligent, distracted and deliberate.  Wording is customizable.

  Simple bills with your logo

Bills are redesigned to be patient-friendly with your logo.  Clear calls to action so that patients knows how to pay - and when.

  Multiple ways to pay you

More ways to pay means higher likelihood of payment: credit card, Autopay, paper check, eCheck, HSA, debit card and Payment Plans.

  Automatic payments

Autopay charges your patients for their balance due each month.  Patients receive a bill telling them “Autopay is on. No action is needed”. 

  Automated follow-up

We follow up on slow payers.  So nothing falls through the cracks because we track every patient balance.

SIMPLER PATIENT BILLING

Simplify your patient billing and follow up

We help you simplify your monthly billing processes by letting you upload your statement file into a pre-configured workflow which sends billing and follow up.

The formula is: better visibility + functionality = simpler billing.

  Dashboard of Patient AR

Quick visibility of what we're doing to get your AR paid. Track your balances as they flow through our workflow. No longer is your AR stuck in an Aging Report. 

  Simple workflow setup

Set the timing of the automated reminders to match your preferences and demographic. Adjust the wording on each reminder letter/email. 

  Automatic EMR connection

We supply a simple “how-to” for running the patient statement report and uploading to us. No extra setup work is needed from your side.

  Simplify complex billing

We can absorb multiple statement files, email address lists, or “special bucket” patients that need custom invoice wording, like Medicaid Pending patients.

  Autopay is easy

While you sleep, patients can go online to have their Credit Card (or eCheck) charged monthly for the amount due.

  Track follow-up activity 

Add notes to balances, so you know what happened, and the next step. Just like a CRM tracks activity toward a Sale, track your activity toward payment.

BETTER PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Give patients a friendlier, consumer-like billing experience

All patient communication has been re-worded, re-designed and A/B split tested, to give a better billing experience.

Patient clarity results in a higher likelihood to pay, and fewer calls to your staff. Patient confusion does the opposite.  Hence, our design motto for the patient journey: “Don’t make me think (too much).”

  Patient-friendly bills

Simply worded bills are based on the HFMA’s Patient Friendly Billing guidelines.  We convert medical wording into familiar descriptions.

  Easy patient portal 

The patient site is intuitive and doesn't need an app download. Patient’s can view their bills, pay their bills, and sign up for Autopay and emailed billing.

  Autopay is hassle-free

Autopay is easy for your patients to turn on, without the hassle of a manual payment online or paper check. 

  How should we contact you?

Delivery options for your patients are paper mail, email, or online.  Reach patients via the channel they prefer. 

  “Pay my bill” button 

“Pay my bill” button on your website gives a smooth patient experience.  We display your web address (URL) on all patient communication.

  Quick, one-time payments 

No login is needed to make one-time payments.  Patients simply enter the account number that appears on their bill to make payment.

REDUCED COST-TO-COLLECT

Reduce the cost and manual effort of billing and follow up

We aggregate lots of volume to reduce your per-unit cost.  We handle 1,000’s of mailpieces, emails and online payments per day, so we can offer lower costs than in-house.

There’s a cost to every dollar that must be billed and collected. Reduce your cost by automating grunt work.  So your in-house team can get back to higher dollar activities. 

  Reduce labor

Outsourced patient billing reduces your labor and increases your focus.  We do the heavy lifting: printing, mailing, emailing, follow up and online pay.

 Eliminate manual processes

Your simple "set and forget" workflow takes care of all the steps from invoicing, to follow-up reminders on slow payers, to payment posting. 

  Autopay = more efficient staff

By reducing the number of “touches” to accept each payment, you improve staff efficiency, and remove the cost and headache associated with human error.

  Ignore "penny" balances

Set your Workflows to focus on bigger balances, to reduce postage and "touches".  Set balance threshold, and then send a combined invoice. 

  Limit billing attempts 

A max. of 5 billing attempts per balance reduces your cost-to-collect.  This is cheaper than the typical "send statements monthly" forever. 

  Lower credit card fees 

Reduce your Credit Card processing fees and get  funded overnight.  Accept eCheck (instead of Credit Card) to reduce merchant fees by 3x.
