Patient Payments

Patient payments made simple for families, so balances get paid.

One statement for the whole household, copays collected at check-in, and payments made by tap, portal, mobile app, or message link. Families get simple, familiar ways to pay. All secure. All convenient. While your team has the tools to collect and manage the balances that remain.

WHY IT MATTERS

Getting paid starts with removing the barriers to payment.

One statement for the whole family

Multiple children, different visits, different balances — but often the same person paying the bill. Bringing it all together gives parents a clearer picture of what the family owes and practices less to untangle.

Pay the way parents already pay

Giving parents a familiar ways to pay — in the moment or later from their phone — eliminates unnecessary friction. The easier it is to pay, the more opportunities you have to get paid.

Patient A/R you can actually work

Even with an easy payment experience, patient A/R doesn’t manage itself. Keeping balances easy to find, organize, follow up on, and escalate gives staff a clearer path from outstanding balance to payment.

HOW IT WORKS

Make patient payments a natural part of your workflow.

1
One clear balance, one simple payment

Sibling balances roll up under the appropriate guarantor, giving families one clear statement of what they owe instead of separate bills to sort through and multiple payments to make.

2
Collect when the moment is right

Balances are visible during scheduling and in the chart, while Tap to Pay makes it simple to collect at check-in using the payment methods parents already use every day.

3
Let parents pay from wherever they are

Parents can take care of a balance through the portal, mobile app, or a payment link sent by message — no phone call or visit to the office required. Or save a credit card on file, and shorten the path to payment even more.

4
Stay on top of what remains

Collection statuses, follow-up tasks, patient alerts, bulk actions, letter generation, and collection agency workflows give your team a clear way to manage the balances that remain.
