Digital statements are sent via text message and email
Patients are \u201c1 click\u201d away from paying their open balances in these messages
How is digital communication effective to increase payments from patients?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients can review their statements 24\/7\/365 and make payments at any time easily with one click. Using digital payment can be the biggest motivator for easy, efficient, and transparent money transactions. As with other workflows within the HiLiteMD platform, our system uses recorded video as an explainer video embedded in the messaging to provide a better understanding of the payment and statement process. This ensures consistent messages for compliance and understanding. This process will also increase patients\u2019 financial engagement and provide a level of comfort to use the digital payment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients can trackback their payments and review previous statements. This information is available by accessing the payment portal or reviewing past messages received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With HiLiteMD, when a patient receives and pays using our automated process, there is an 80% drop in overhead expenses, while AR for patient open balances decreased by more than 70%. Patients can pay their open balances anytime, anywhere with simplicity, and this provides a reduction in billing overhead and accelerates payments collected. There is little to no staff involvement once the automation is set up, which creates efficiencies and ensures patients will continuously receive information on what they owe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
