Integrated patient payment solutions enable providers any size, practice or organization to increase patient payments
MOBILE, AL and PHILADELPHIA, PA (November 5, 2013) – TeleVox Software, the leading provider of patient engagement communications (EC) services, has partnered with InstaMed, the leading Healthcare Payments Network, to offer integrated patient payment solutions to enable providers to increase payments from patients by simplifying the payment process.
TeleVox patient payment solutions enable providers in dental and medical practices, hospitals and health systems to send automated, interactive notifications of balances owed to patients and allow patients to make payments with convenient payment options. Leveraging the InstaMed Network, all patient payments post directly into patient accounting systems to streamline the end-to-end patient payment process. As a result, providers reduce patient bad debt, collect patient payments sooner and reduce the time and costs to collect.
“Cost effective methods of collecting outstanding balances from self-pay patients is one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare providers today,” said Scott Zimmerman, President of TeleVox. “By partnering with InstaMed, we enable healthcare organizations to maximize revenue retention by using fewer resources to process, post and reconcile patient payments. Additionally, we improve the payment experience for patients by offering convenient payment options.”
“As healthcare consumerism continues to rise, the number of self-pay patients is increasing rapidly, and providers need to increase their focus on collecting from their patients,” said Bill Marvin, President and CEO of InstaMed. “We are excited to power TeleVox clients with integrated, healthcare-focused payment tools to collect efficiently from their patients.”
