Auto Pay is one of the key features of POS Patient Payment Services that helps collect patient-owed balances, while providing a positive patient experience. It can drastically improve practice profitability by improving your days in A/R and saving staff time.
Just like your TV or cell phone bill, Auto Pay will automatically charge the patient’s balance to their credit card or bank account when insurance clears. Plus, the patient will receive a system generated email receipt once a payment is made. It’s a great way to eliminate the hassle of paying small bills or known recurring charges such as frequent testing or allergy shots.
The key to implementing Auto Pay is communicating to a patient their options for payment and providing them with why it benefits them.
