What payment options can general surgery practices offer?

Card, ACH, and HSA/FSA in one hosted checkout, with installment plans available on larger balances. Partial payment is supported, so a patient can pay their deductible now and schedule the remainder.

How can practices manage high-cost surgical balances?

Offer a plan when the balance is presented, not after a second statement. Once a surgical balance has aged past 90 days the likelihood of full recovery drops sharply, whatever the follow-up effort.

How can digital payments simplify surgical patient payments?

A one-tap link removes the portal login that causes most drop-off, and payments post back to your practice management system automatically, so nobody is reconciling by hand.

How can AI improve patient payment support for surgery?

The 24/7 AI Billing Assistant answers the recurring questions — why the facility billed separately from the surgeon, what insurance applied, what remains — in 100+ languages, so they never reach your billing line.
