Is Patriot Pay secure for physical medicine patient payments?

Yes. Patriot Pay is built for healthcare payment operations with HIPAA-aligned safeguards, PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processing, SOC 2 Type II controls, and TCPA-conscious patient outreach. Card data is tokenized, and patients pay through secure hosted checkout rather than sharing details with staff.

How is physical medicine billing different from general medical billing?

PM&R blends evaluation and management visits, timed therapy codes, and interventional procedures, often under authorization requirements and visit limits, and typically across a long treatment episode. That mix produces layered, repeating patient balances, which is why generic collection tools tend to underperform for these practices.

How does patient payment collection work with Patriot Pay?

Once the payer adjudicates the claim, the remaining balance flows into Patriot Pay. The platform sends a clear statement, engages the patient across SMS, email, voice, and print, answers billing questions 24/7 with AI, and offers a self-service payment plan — continuing automatically until the balance is resolved.

Does Patriot Pay integrate with our physical medicine EHR?

Yes. Patriot Pay connects bidirectionally with leading EHR and practice management systems, including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, ModMed, and WebPT, so balances arrive automatically and payments post back without manual reconciliation.

Payment Solutions for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Practices

Q: What is physical medicine rehabilitation?

Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), also called physiatry, is the medical specialty focused on restoring function and quality of life for people affected by injury, illness, or disability. Care often combines therapeutic exercise, pain management, interventional procedures, and coordinated therapy services delivered across many visits rather than a single encounter.

Q: What is a physical medicine and rehabilitation patient payment solution?

It is a platform that manages the patient-responsibility side of the revenue cycle after insurance pays — statements, multi-channel outreach, billing questions, payment plans, and online payments. For PM&R specifically, it must handle recurring balances from ongoing rehabilitation episodes rather than one-time visit bills.

Purpose-built patient payment solutions for physical medicine practices — simplifying payments, improving collections, and supporting better patient experiences.
