About Us
PatientPay is the leading end-to-end patient payment solution focused on the complex financial challenges facing specialty healthcare. PatientPay partners with specialty care medical groups and revenue cycle management (RCM) companies to capture patient payments during every step of care.
Consumers are becoming the largest buyer of healthcare in the United States, so specialty services such as labs, radiology and anesthesiology rely on PatientPay to get paid more, faster and drive down the cost to collect. PatientPay drives a dramatic increase in patient payments through statements that align with patient Explanation of Benefits (EOB), flexible payment options, custom communications and a natural workflow for the billing staff.
Its solutions yield greater patient payment collections than traditional methods while driving down the cost to capture these payments. In addition, PatientPay gives patients a simple way to manage their healthcare-related financial obligations. The billing, payment, and reporting services are HIPAA and PCI Level 1 compliant, and reduce call volumes as well as time-intensive, error-prone, manual back-end efforts to process and reconcile traditional patient paper billing methods used today.
Medical groups who use PatientPay can realize a collection success rate that’s up to two times higher than the industry standard, expect up 50 percent savings per payment over traditional billing methods, and get paid on average in 14 days.
PatientPay was founded to bring to healthcare consumers the same type of payment solutions they use in retail and e-commerce environments. Since 2012 PatientPay was been granted four patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 8,155,983, 8,204,764, 8,214,233 and 10,410,187) for its innovative process that underpins its solutions, which can be integrated with any healthcare management software. The company is headquartered in Durham, NC.
