CHALLENGES

The journey to improve
patient financial care

Great River Health’s previous payments portal was difficult to navigate and
lacked the functionality for self-service payments. The outdated technology
caused staff to be overwhelmed by phone calls and patients to be dissatisfied.

Actions

Steps to optimize the patient
financial experience

By investing in modern, user-friendly payment tools, Great River Health has
improved the patient financial experience and lifted a tremendous administrative
burden from their staff.


The clearer way
to keep up

With seamless integration with the EHR, their staff has greater visibility into current balances, payments, statements and more.

The better way to stay connected

Great River Health uses a digital-first billing strategy to engage patients via email or text, instead of a paper statement first.

The smarter
way to pay

Using Waystar’s PatientWallet® solution, patients can now directly enroll in affordable payment plans without staff assistance.
