The pandemic has caused sweeping changes for many industries, with healthcare undoubtedly being the most affected. Healthcare companies have seen a huge influx of patients during this time, leaving many organizations dealing with financial constraints, while patients struggle with the unforeseen costs of treatment. These stresses have made medical facilities not only look for ways to lessen the administrative burden on their staff to collect payments, but to find ways to make it easier for patients to make them. For this reason, the task of improving the patient financial experience is taking center stage.

Our iConnect is an advanced patient engagement platform that can transform patient financial experience. Here are some of the benefits that transitioning to the iConnect platform can have for your organization:
