Why Physician Practices Choose HST’s patient estimates

Quickly Create Financial Estimates

Within minutes, you’ll be able to calculate an accurate estimate, deliver the estimate to your patient via text, email, or print/mail, and connect patients to your favored payment options. The estimate is generated by using your payor contracts and multiple clearinghouse integrations.

True Progressive Estimation

Our estimates for your surgical professional fees can factor in facility and/or anesthesia fees, so you will always know exactly how much to collect from your surgical patients. If the ASC(s) where your doctors perform cases use HST’s patient estimates, you’ll be able to send one comprehensive estimate to the patient on behalf of both the ASC and the practice.

Free Integration When ASC Uses HST’s patient estimates

Hundreds of surgery centers use HST’s patient estimates to provide patients with accurate estimates. If the ASC(s) where your doctors perform cases use HST’s patient estimates, you’ll benefit from no integration fees for surgical cases, a seamless flow of patient data, and industry leading accuracy for estimates.

Get Paid Faster from Patients & Payors

When patients trust the estimate they receive, they are more likely to pay upfront and in full. In fact, 30% of patients contacted via text or email will typically pay electronically pre-date-of-service. You will also reduce payor denials by proactively identifying patients with non-coverage.

Laser Focus on Customer Delight

Our client support team is available from 6am-9pm EST and typically answers calls within 60 seconds. We provide unlimited support during and after implementation, and our team of experts is truly invested in your satisfaction and success with our solutions.
