Elevating the billing process through automation

BEFORE

Manual Patient Payment Posting

Gather patient payment

Depending on your payment processor, your patient will make a payment toward their estimate online, over the phone, or in person.

Manual data entry

From there, you will need to manually enter the patient payment into your billing system.

Continued frustration from lengthy repetitive task and risk from errors

Due to the highly manual nature of this process, manual posting opens the door to potential human errors in patient payment recording. Additionally, if you are using a billing system that posts patient payments on a nightly basis, you will experience a delay in time to seeing your payments posted.

AFTER

Automated Patient Payment Posting

Gather patient payment

Your patient can make a payment toward their estimate online, over the phone, or in person.

Automated posting into HST’s surgery center management

Instead of recording and posting patient payment records manually, HST’s patient payments automatically gathers the patient payment data and posts the payment directly within minutes to the patient ledger inside HST’s surgery center management solution.

Reducing stress from your staff and increasing time savings

With automated patient payment posting, your staff will experience a great deal of relief from having to handle a large volume of payments manually, saving them valuable time by eliminating time-consuming tasks.
Patient Payments with HST - An In-Depth Walkthrough

How It Works

1. Patient Recieves an Estimate
Either by text or email, a patient will receive a communication outlining an estimate of what they owe the provider or facility.
2. Patient Makes a Pre-Service Payment
Patients will choose to pay either by phone, online, or in person, and submit their payment accordingly.
3. Payment Information is Recorder

Payment details are recorded in HST’s patient payments module to show the amount paid, date of payment, and other relevant transaction information.

4. Payments are Posted into HST’s Surgery Center Management

HST’s patient payments module automatically relays the payment data to the patient ledger inside HST’s surgery center management within minutes.

Key Capabilities

Automated Posting

Keeping up with manual payment posting is challenging, time-consuming, and error prone. With the integration of HST’s surgery center management, accelerate account posting through automation and oversee cash flow more accurately.

Secure Cardholder Data

Rest assured with advanced security measures in place, such as encryption and tokenization to prevent fraudulent activities.

Quick Refunds & Payment Voids

Billing errors, such as duplicate payments or patient benefit information being outdated, are inevitable. Give your staff a reliable way to course-correct errors with prompt refunds and payment voids.

Convenient Ways to Pay

Your patients can pay by credit card through a secure online link, by phone, or in person.

Decline Minimizer

Automatically update card information on file with a direct bank connection that keeps all card details current and avoid declined transactions that can occur from out-of-date credit card information.

Store Credit Card Information

Get a more convenient transaction process by saving patient card details; bypassing the need to re-enter previously given patient payment information.

Electronic Patient Estimates

Send patient estimates to notify them what they owe and get paid sooner.

Flexible Partial Payments

Patients can make two partial payments in one session using different methods like checking, FSA, or HSA—making it easier to pay.

Post-Service Balance Notifications

Follow up on unpaid balances with patients after their procedure using manual or automated messages to speed up payments.
