ADVANCED PROPENSITY TO PAY
Take the smart approach to patient collections
As patient balances continue to rise with high deductible plans and regulatory changes, realizing this revenue is a growing challenge for providers. In fact, about 58% of bad debt is attributable to self-pay after insurance accounts. What if your team could easily identify those accounts where your resources will be most useful?
Waystar’s Advanced Patient Propensity to Pay solution intelligently stratifies accounts based on collection risk and how much a patient can be expected to pay — making it easy to identify which accounts to work in-house, which to write off, and which to outsource to collection agencies. Utilizing Waystar’s predictive analytics and proven workflows, providers can maximize patient revenue while improving patient satisfaction.
WHAT MAKES WAYSTAR DIFFERENT
A patient-centered collection approach
By leveraging powerful predictive analytics, Waystar’s Advanced Propensity to Pay solution gives you deeper visibility into the expected cash value of a patient’s account as well as their likely communication preferences — so you make the right contact, at the right time with the right approach. Our technology:
- Identifies expected cash value, even for those without a credit history
- Doesn’t rely on traditional credit bureaus or ‘soft hits’ that dissatisfy patients
- Tracks aging accounts to guide collection agency placement strategies
- Provides easy-to-read dashboards with performance insights
“ At Atrium Health we always focus on putting the patient first. With that top of mind, we deployed Waystar predictive analytics and technology and were actually blown away with the results. Waystar is definitely one of our top vendors and we certainly value the collaboration we have with them. ”
NAVIGATE THE PATIENT-PAY LANDSCAPE
Engage patients as the new payers
As self-pay balances swell, many providers feel in the dark when it comes to collection efforts. Bigger balances and higher credit scores are often prioritized but those aren’t always the best indicator of who’s most likely to pay their bills, which can lead to more write-offs, increased AR days, and dead-end collection efforts.
The healthcare market is becoming more consumer-driven and a one-size-fits-all all collection approach is no longer defensible. Waystar can help maximize your outreach efforts in a smarter and demonstrable way, helping to increase your patient engagement and collection goals.
