NextGen Partners with InstaMed to Offer Healthcare Providers Payment Assurance through Enhanced Patient Collections
HORSHAM, Pa. & PHILADELPHIA (November 03, 2010) – NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, a leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, has partnered with InstaMed to offer healthcare providers payment assurance through enhanced patient collections with automated posting. Powered by InstaMed’s industry leading healthcare payments platform, NextGen’s payment solutions will increase patient collections, reduce collection costs and dramatically decrease days in account receivables.
“With patient responsibility rising due to increasing health plan deductibles with growing adoption of consumer directed health plans, NextGen clients are looking for ways to streamline and improve the patient collection process,” said Ana Croxton, VP of EDI of Products and Services, NextGen Healthcare. “Powered by InstaMed, our merchant processing solutions reduce the additional costs associated with patient collections, while ensuring a better patient experience with the ability to offer flexible payment options such as payment plans and online payments.”
