Payments in Healthcare

Implementing a payments strategy that fits your organization’s needs while following strict industry requirements can be a challenge, but the right partner can help you answer key questions and make data-driven decisions.

$

Healthcare organizations must effectively navigate complex payments ecosystems.

Hospitals and other healthcare providers must overcome a number of challenges when creating and implementing a payments strategy: managing ‘money in’ and ‘money out’ use cases, accepting a variety of payment methods, dealing with multiple payers (insurance, government, and individuals), and so on.

Organizations must build long-term, scalable solutions.

On top of the complexities of payments, organizations must also thoroughly understand and manage their strategy within an ever-changing industry — dealing with external factors like:

  • Regulatory Mandates
  • Escalating Costs
  • Data-Privacy Rules (HIPAA, etc.)
  • Economic Changes
  • An Aging Population 
  • Evolving & Modernizing Patient Preferences
  • Increasing Numbers of Uninsured Patients

Even the most innovative payments products are doomed to fail without product-market fit, and that applies to healthcare payments, too. We help healthcare organizations evaluate key markets and establish a go-to-market strategy that will be most successful for the product and the business.

Training / Education

If you’re implementing new systems and processes within your payments ecosystem or want to get more efficient within your existing environment, it’s important that your team understands payments within a healthcare context. Glenbrook can design a customized workshop for any team that could benefit from some extra payments knowledge in their day-to-day roles.
