Healthpac and PatientPay Announce Strategic Partnership
PatientPay (www.patientpay.com) a provider of innovative healthcare billing solutions, and Healthpac Computer Systems Inc. (www.healthpac.net), a nationally recognized leader in practice management software for billing companies, today announced a strategic partnership that will make patient billing, collection and reconciliation faster and less costly for users of Healthpac's practice management software.
At the heart of the arrangement is the patented PatientPaySM online bill and balance management service for healthcare providers and their patients. Healthpac has extended the appeal of its practice management software by embedding PatientPay's unique capabilities into the company's core product.
"PatientPay extends the efficiency of Healthpac's practice management software by bringing the speed, ease and accuracy of automation to patient balance management that for too long, has been bogged down by antiquated methods; specifically paper billing, slow collections and manual reconciliation," said Buddy Claborn, Healthpac's founder and CEO. "There is no question the integration of PatientPay into Healthpac software will enhance the productivity of our 10,000 plus users who support medical practices across the United States."
PatientPay eliminates the costly and complicated paper-based billing method used by the overwhelming majority of healthcare providers. It drives down the expense and drives up the productivity associated with this activity by up to 50%. Since PatientPay reduces the time to payment in half, healthcare professionals realize improved cash flow and reduced account receivables.
"PatientPay is pleased to have Healthpac join its growing list of practice management software vendors who have come to see how our solution can yield meaningful benefits to our partners' physician groups and their patients," said Tom Furr, PatientPay's founder and CEO.
The foundation of the PatientPay Partnership Program is the service's ability to instantly integrate with all popular currently available practice management software so users don't need to change the way they now work or have to learn new tasks.
