In today’s shifting environment of increasing patient financial responsibilities, higher bad debt write-offs and regulatory mandates, accelerating the collection of patient payments is essential in improving the financial health of the provider organization.

PatientCollect’s comprehensive set of features enable providers to automate and streamline the collection of a variety of patient pre and post adjudicated balances, leaving them time and resources to focus on what is most important – providing quality healthcare. With PatientCollect, providers can securely collect payments online, in person and by phone while providing patients the convenience of making payments using multiple payment methods such as eCheck / ACH, credit and debit cards.

Additionally, it enhances patient satisfaction and retention by helping patients to better understand and manage their financial obligations.
