Frequently asked questions
Automated payment systems help medical practices by streamlining billing tasks, reducing manual errors, and improving cash flow. These systems automate repetitive processes like claims submission and payment posting, leading to faster reimbursements, lower administrative costs, and enhanced compliance with healthcare regulations. Practices also experience higher patient satisfaction thanks to more convenient payment options, transparent statements, and fewer billing disputes, all of which encourage quicker payments and reduce the collection burden on staff.
Patients can pay using credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, mobile wallets, or set up recurring payments, providing flexibility and convenience for every patient.
Automated systems verify insurance eligibility, use built-in billing rules, and check for common errors before claim submission, which helps decrease rejections and ensures faster, accurate payments.
When payments are connected to billing and the EHR, charges flow directly into statements, and payments reconcile automatically while eliminating delays and errors. By speeding up collections, minimizing unpaid balances, and freeing staff for higher-value tasks, automation directly boosts revenue and allows for more predictable cash flow.
Yes, Tebra supports storing a patient's card-on-file for faster checkout and payment processing. Practices can use a digital credit card authorization form through Tebra Payments to request, securely save, and authorize a patient's card for future payments, such as copays and outstanding balances. The cardholder data itself is securely stored in a third-party vault and is PCI-compliant, ensuring patient privacy and transaction security. Practices using Patient Collect (Stripe) also have workflows to authorize and manage cards on file, supporting fast and efficient checkouts for repeat patients.
