“Patients are faced with rising out-of-pocket costs while many healthcare payment experiences struggle to meet basic consumer expectations,” said Heather George, Chief Revenue Officer of Patientco. “Patientco supports a modern, intuitive payment experience that today’s patients demand, which helps Health Systems grow patient loyalty, return visits, and ultimately improve financial performance. Leading Health Systems generate outsized returns when they invest in the patient financial experience powered by Patientco.”
