ZPay is a web-based credit and debit card processing solution that complements existing healthcare revenue cycle workflows and eliminates slow Point-Of-Service terminals and shared phone lines, making the healthcare experience better for both the hospital and the patient. The solution allows hospitals to collect the patient financial responsibility quickly and easily, in a variety of settings and payment formats. Hospital staff can utilize ZPay onsite by using inexpensive card-swipe terminals connected to any internet-connected computer. Through a simple web-based interface, ZPay also empowers revenue staff professionals to processes payments that are mailed in or phoned in. With the inclusion of a customizable payment web-page that can be either standalone or integrated with an existing web presence, ZPay allows patients to pay their balances directly online. ZPay processes credit and debit cards, as well as check-based ACH transactions.
"Recondo is the market leader in helping hospitals communicate financial responsibility to patients at point-of-service," said Rick Adam, Recondo CEO. "We have found this to be very beneficial for patients who are interested in knowing what their co-pay and co-insurance amounts will be before their visit or procedure. Studies show that when billing occurs after service is provided, 60% of the time payment is not received. With the patient bill in hand at point of service, ZPay credit card swiping makes the overall interaction much faster and smoother."
"ZirMed® has made a significant Research and Development investment in streamlining the healthcare payment process," said Jim Lacy, ZirMed CFO and General Counsel. "We are very pleased to have Recondo offer these services to their clients."
More than 400 US hospitals use Recondo SurePayHealth® every day to protect and maximize revenue. From inception to date, SurePayHealth has calculated more than $500,000,000 for patients in consumer-directed health plans. Already, Recondo hospital customers collect significantly more than the Best Practice figure of two-to-three percent of patient financial responsibility prior to service. Combining ZPay and SurePayHealth will further increase up-front collections for Recondo. ZPay is now fully available to all Recondo customers.
