Most patients say they want to pay their clinician offices using electronic tools but few even make online healthcare payments.
70% of providers say it takes about a month to receive payment from patients. Collect on time by giving patients convenient payment options. Allow them to pay outside of normal business hours and before appointments. Send automated notifications when payments are coming due via email, SMS text, and or push notifications, vs. sending a statement at the end of the month. Payment plans are also supported in Bridge, giving patients more options and therefore, improving collections.
How much money are you being charged for patient payments? Healthcare organizations often pay a significantly higher percentage for processing payments by credit card not with Bridge.
Eliminate the need for staff to manually post payments back into your PM/RCM system with our patient online payments software that updates your source system in real-time.
Online bill pay is dominated by credit card processing companies that force patients to leave your website or portal and type in their invoice number, along with other details. Many healthcare organizations use multiple patient engagement solutions that require patients to manage several different logins--creating a disconnected experience across multiple branded touchpoints. With Bridge, you can integrate online bill pay into our patient portal to easily link invoices and payments to each patient for a seamless experience.
Consolidate payment portals into one patient bill pay portal backed by a single payment gateway of your choice. Minimize security and compliance risks associated with handling credit card information both in the office and in antiquated, non-PCI compliant patient portal technologies.
Provide full transparency by letting patients view their payment history, remaining balances, and individual line items through a secure online patient payment solution. Allow patients to not only pay their bills, but book appointments, view their lab results, message their provider, and much more, all on the same platform.
