A billing and payment platform called Paymentus asserts that it has doubled the number of healthcare provider solutions it provides while also adding more patient payment options.
The company has expanded its service for healthcare providers by becoming certified to post real-time bills on the Epic/MyChart patient interface.
In the United States, healthcare bills account for more personal debt than all other types of debt combined, according to the revelation.
“According to recent research by US Bank, making payments in the healthcare industry is the most difficult. Patients want more options for online payment methods, including the opportunity to utilize PayPal and Venmo as well as quick payments through apps.”
In order to allow patients to check a payment due date and finish the payment in the same MyChart environment they use to view health data, Paymentus claims to have improved its payments platform interface with electronic health records provider Epic and health information platform MyChart.
In order to provide patients more control over their money, the Paymentus EBPP platform also offers “additional flexible payment choices for patients supplied by third parties,” such as PayPal Credit and a variety of payment schedule options.
Dushyant Sharma, the founder and CEO of Paymentus, claimed that the healthcare system “may be daunting for patients.”
“Delivering straightforward billing and payment information directly through the MyChart portal and expanding the range of payment methods and options for patients helps mitigate the confusion often associated with healthcare bills and reduces missed payments and collection issues that can impact healthcare services,” the statement reads.
