Elevating the billing process through automation
Before HST
Manual Patient Payment Posting
Gather Patient
Payment
Depending on your payment processor, your patient will make a payment toward their estimate online, over the phone, or in person.
Manual Data Entry
From there, you will need to manually enter the patient payment into your billing system.
Continued Frustration
from Lengthy
Repetitive Tasks and
Risks from Errors
Due to the highly manual nature of this process, manual patient posting opens the door to potential human errors in patient payment recording. Additionally, if you are using a billing system that posts patient payments on a nightly basis, you will experience a delay in time to seeing your patient payments posted.
After HST
Automated Patient Payment Posting
Gather Patient
Payment
Your patient can make a payment toward their estimate online, over the phone, or in person.
Automated posting
into HST Practice
Management

Reducing Stress for
Your Staff and
