Online payment portals excel at incentivizing consumers to quickly reimburse services. The sites motivate this behavior with time-saving features like automatic reminders and e-statements. Healthcare practices that adopt internet pay services can significantly improve RCM flow.
However, a subset of patients still shies away from portals due to deep-seated fears. To reduce these concerns, medical providers must learn how repeated misinformation about these sites is misleading.
Here are common misconceptions patients have about online pay services.
Cyber security discussions have been popular since the internet’s early days. Disaster stories frequently circulate regarding unoptimized code, poorly protected sites, and data breaches. Some people who have heard these accounts are skeptical of putting sensitive information online.
Competent modern websites have mastered the secure payment transfer process. Companies dedicate significant resources to encrypting their users’ information and developing security algorithms. The level of sophistication required to break through these barriers is virtually nonexistent.
By contrast, a thief can simply steal an invoice or payment from a mailbox. Providers trying to ensure patients of online pay safety should highlight the dangers physical mail poses. PCI-compliant websites are a far safer way to conduct financial transactions.
Many worry payment platforms will charge extra fees after the initial service reimbursement. Providers must understand a portal’s pricing structure before addressing these fears.
Most mainstream payment platforms will charge the practice for patient transactions on their site. So, providers can build these costs into the initial bill without worrying about later surprise fees annoying consumers.
Online portals offer comparable transparency to any physical bill. Invoices on these platforms include detailed breakdowns of what each charge covers. Billers will highlight what organization claims the payment to dispel any doubt over hidden fees.
In a 2022 survey, 74% of Americans preferred digital payments to printed alternatives. Despite this progress, some consumers still believe internet financing is too complex for them.
When approaching these concerns, providers should explain how accessible online pay services are. Signing up to portals is simple, with a step-by-step guide through the process. From here, well-designed page layouts lead the users to the payment tab.
Designers typically outline consumers’ transaction history on the financial page. So, users can review in-depth details without visiting an external link. Also, most sites store patient information, empowering consumers to pay a bill with a single click.
