Allscripts Simplifies Payment Process for Patients
December 15 2015 - 8:01AM
As the healthcare industry changes – patients are being asked to
pay more of their healthcare cost through high deductible plans
that include significant co-pay and co-insurance requirements.
Providers’ liability to collect is growing exponentially, which
leads them to look for ways to manage this emerging revenue
risk.
As a leader in patient engagement platforms,
Allscripts announced self-pay capability as part of its patient
engagement strategy - Allscripts FollowMyHealth®. Allscripts
Payerpath® family of solutions powers this new benefit to offer a
simplified online payment option from the same access point where
patients engage with their healthcare information and care
providers.
Patient benefits include:
- Greater convenience – Patients can make online
payments and see all their healthcare information in one place.
- Streamlined processes – Patients can securely
interact with their healthcare organization 24/7 from a single
access point.
Provider benefits include:
- Reduced costs – Eliminate the hassle and costs
associated with paper-based payments.
- Timely payment – With a greater proportion of
revenue coming directly from patients, healthcare organizations
must ensure payment options are consumer-friendly, convenient and
accessible.
- Reduced demand on internal resources –
Allscripts cloud-based architecture ensures rapid deployment and
places minimal demands on internal IT resources, regardless of the
electronic health record (EHR) deployed at the practice.
“We looked for a simple, cost effective solution
and found one that works,” said The Family Doctors Administrator,
Lisa Britt, CMPE, located in Shreveport, La., U.S.A. “Many patients
sit down to pay bills over the weekend. With web access,
patients can pay the bill online while we are closed, and we
process it first thing on Monday morning.”
Forty-four Allscripts clients across the United
States use this new capability in the FollowMyHealth patient
engagement platform.
“Providers should empower patients with simple-to-use options
for engaging with their healthcare information and payment
information in one place,” said Allscripts Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Payer & Life Sciences Business, Faisal
Mushtaq. “Leveraging the type of payment experiences patients are
used to can help providers receive funds more quickly.”
