What is Healthcare Bill Pay?

Healthcare Bill Pay enables patients to pay their providers from their health plan's website or pay.instamed.com. By enabling patients to pay you from websites where they are already making payments, you will increase payments to your organization.

How does Healthcare Bill Pay work?

Patients pay you online in one of two ways:

1. Through their health plan's website:

  • Claim(s) are submitted to the patient's health plan and adjudicated
  • The patient’s health plan sends an email to the patient notifying them that they have a claim available to review and the patient can pay from the health plan's website

2. Through a Patient Portal:

  • Patient searches for their provider and makes a payment based on the balance on their paper statement

You get paid faster and easier with direct deposit into your preferred bank account and experience the following benefits:

  • Accelerate patient payment cash flow and decrease days in accounts receivable
  • Collect more patient payments and reduce bad debt
  • Reduce the time and costs incurred for collections
  • Receive automated email notifications when payments are made
  • Automatically post payments to your practice management system
  • Access real-time online Healthcare Bill Pay reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week
