PatientPay creates patient payment solutions for patients, medical groups, hospitals and revenue cycle management groups.
Providers who use PatientPay can realize a collection success rate that’s up to three times higher than the industry standard, expect up 50 percent savings per payment over traditional billing methods and get paid on average in less than 14 days.
In 2012 PatientPay was granted three patents, which it says can be integrated with any health care management software.
