There's A Better Way To Handle Your Patient Pay Solutions

The American healthcare system is a nightmare for most patients. Navigating healthcare costs is almost impossible due to the lack of transparency, changing insurance fee schedules, and a general lack of financial knowledge among patients.
Most patients view healthcare no differently than any other transaction, but the complexity of insurance plans makes it extremely difficult for the average patient to determine if they are covered. The allowable amount for providers from the various insurance companies is also a moving target, making it difficult for a provider to know exactly how much will be charged and collected. In the end, too many patients are surprised by their healthcare costs and ultimately default on their payments.

Pre-care engagement establishes a relationship and provides opportunities for patient financial education. Patient pay solutions are presented in a transparent, easily digestible way.

The Patient Financial Experience
FinPay’s pre-care patient financial management solution makes the patient financial experience a top priority. Combining cost transparency, strong patient advocacy, and education on healthcare financial literacy ensures that the patients remain engaged throughout the billing and clinical cycle.
While it may seem odd or inappropriate to make finances and payments the focus of patient engagement, the reality is that many people dread the patient financial experience and our approach alleviates that fear. Patients appreciate the upfront, honest discussion since the typical patient experience involves uncertainty and often surprise costs. Furthermore, it improves the relationship between your treatment center and your patients. You become an advocate for patient pay solutions, not an adversary.
