Webinar: Offering Long-Term Payment Plans to Meet Patient Financial Needs

HFMA Trendsetters Webinar: Presented by CommerceHealthcare®

The pandemic has exacerbated the financial burden on both patients and providers. Thus, it has become increasingly important for healthcare providers to meet patients at their point of need, both clinically and financially. This webinar explores why offering patients convenient, accessible long-term payment plans is essential to your organization's success.

You will learn how healthcare providers are leveraging payment plans to accommodate their patient's financial needs at multiple points during the continuum of care. These strategies will help you identify opportunities to strengthen your own patient collection process, overcoming significant barriers in collection, cash flow and patient satisfaction.
