The current healthcare environment is creating many different payment challenges for both providers and patients. Some of these challenges stem from increasing financial pressure on patients. Others are a result of patients struggling to understand insurance coverage and benefits. And others are a result of patients becoming confused or surprised by their medical bills after care, not knowing how much care will cost, when payments are due or even how to pay.
This webinar will explore payment strategies healthcare providers can utilize to better meet patients at their point of need during this challenging time.
