RamSoft partnered with PatientPal to offer customers a holistic solution that saves front-desk staff the hours of redundant work by automating everything right from patient intake forms to appointment reminders, to insurance verification, and payment collection.
TORONTO, ON – Born as a product and company in their Boston-based medical practice, PatientPal is revolutionizing the front desk processes at imaging facilities. Front desk processes are lengthy and time-consuming because of their linear design. The time frame between scheduling a patient to payment collection typically takes weeks or months. With PatientPal, the entire process can be completed in as little as a day. “The moment a patient is scheduled, PatientPal triggers the intake forms, insurance verification, out-of-pocket calculation, and payment collection.” — Adam Vartikar, CEO, PatientPal.
Developed as an application, PatientPal seamlessly integrates with RamSoft’s PowerServer™ RIS/PACS, and works in the background to digitize paperwork, send appointment reminders, retrieve and validate pre-authorizations, and calculate and collect the full out-of-pocket amount for imaging practices. “We are pleased to announce this partnership with PatientPal as their products enhance the workflow of our customers, providing improved care for their patients.” — Al Kappel, Director of Global Sales, RamSoft.
Explaining how this new process is a win-win for practices and patients, Adam Vartikar said that, “PatientPal communicates the out-of-pocket expense to patients before they check-in. Patients appreciate price transparency and you can collect 100% of the patient responsibility before or at the time of service rather than having a collections agency step in.”
Another important patient-centric aspect that PatientPal has taken care of during this time of the COVID pandemic is contactless check-ins. Patients can complete the intake form at home and check-in on their mobile phone.
“Ever since the pandemic, there’s been a growing demand for contactless check-in solutions. Thanks to PatientPal, we can now offer it our customers,” said Al Kappel.
