In a competitive market, payments form an increasingly critical part of the healthcare life cycle, from premium collections and billing to accounts receivables, payouts and payables. As money flows in and out, you need to make your payment operations as smart and efficient as possible. All too often, fragmented systems and manual processes cause unnecessary errors and inefficiencies. To minimize delays and improve your cash flow, it pays to both digitize and connect more processes.

1. STREAMLINED PAYMENTS

Save money

Traditional ways of paying and communicating with customers and patients are becoming less viable. Although still widely used in the U.S., checks, for example, cost around $10 each to issue, compared to just $1 per electronic transaction.¹ By automating repeatable payment processes and outsourcing the printing and mailing of checks, statements and other critical communications, you can reduce expensive administrative tasks and make more cost-effective use of your team’s talents.

2. optimize costs

Strengthen relationships

Digitalization means you can do more for your customers and patients. Payouts can be made in near real time, directly to a bank account, credit, debit, prepaid or virtual card. And by settling claims faster, you’ll boost satisfaction and loyalty. You can also offer more flexibility by accepting payments via card and alternative methods, on any device. Plus, a real-time, AI-powered view of your customers and patients will help understand their needs and personalize the healthcare experience.

3. Happier customers AND PATIENTS

Lower risk

Increase visibility

With so many transactions to manage, healthcare operations are complex, especially for treasury. Centralized digital systems help treasurers get a clearer view of cash flows and reduce costs, fraud and liquidity risk. A digital transformation strategy also makes it easier to connect to ERPs, banks and payment providers, achieve compliance and run standardized operations with less risk. You could even automate all your reconciliation processes centrally, for fewer errors and total data integrity.
