Challenges of Using Outdated Payment Software

Timely collection of patient payments is critical to running a successful optometry practice. Using outdated billing and payment software can hinder your ability to collect payment from your patients, cause you to lose out on revenue, and create hassle and frustration for your front-office staff.

The major challenges of using outdated practice management and payment software include complicated payment processing systems, limited payment options, and interrupted cash flow from being unable to collect payments at the time of service.

Complicated Payment Processing

With outdated software, you may have to invest in additional payment processing equipment to take payments from patients. You have to purchase this equipment, learn how to use it, and train new staff.

Without integration between the payment equipment and your practice management software, your staff also has to spend time manually entering payment information into the system. This can lead to a higher error rate and billing issues for patients.

Limited Payment Options

With outdated payment software, you have limited payment options for patients. A 2021 Trends in Healthcare Payments Annual Report found that over 50% of patients think about changing providers due to poor payment experiences, and 78% of healthcare consumers want the option to make contactless payments post pandemic.

If you don’t offer online payments or take electronic forms of payment such as ApplePay, AndroidPay, or chip cards, your patients may seek a provider with more convenient payment options.

Interrupted Cash Flow

Using an inconvenient payment processing system can cause you to experience interrupted cash flow and lost revenue. Without a cloud-based, integrated payment system, you bill patients after receiving services.

The Healthcare Financial Management Association reports that providers have a 30% chance of collecting patient payments once they’ve left the practice versus 70% when asking patients to settle their bills at the time of service.

Three Ways RevPayments Benefits Your Practice

Your practice can save time and get paid faster by using RevPayments.

85% of practices with five or fewer practitioners said slow payments are among their top collection challenges. Making payments more convenient for their patients is one of their highest demands.

RevPayments meets these goals in the following ways:

1. RevPayments Simplifies Billing and Payment Workflow

RevPayments streamlines your practice’s billing and payment processes by having one system for everything. This integrated software accepts multiple types of payment to simplify your billing process.

Your practice can use traditional credit card terminals in your office, enter information manually through the software, or set up e-payments to increase convenience for your staff and patients. All e-payments are automatically sent into the software for review by your staff before posting, improving workflow and billing efficiency.

RevPayments allows your practice to save credit card information to the patient’s record. Their card is then automatically offered as a payment option for future visits, simplifying the process further. This cloud-based software also lets you access payment and billing information from anywhere instead of being tied to your office.

2. RevPayments Allows You To Offer Payment Flexibility to Your Patients

RevPayments gives patients payment options. They can pay through a terminal in your office by a credit card swipe or chip or with Apple Pay or Android Pay. With RevPayments’ manual payment feature, you can also enter payment information over the phone.

Our e-pay option adds further convenience, allowing patients to pay fees or an account balance online from the comfort of their home.

The software stores credit card information securely for future transactions to reduce time spent on this administrative task. Your staff can spend more time caring for patients instead of processing payments. Patients benefit from not waiting in line to make a payment when their information is already on file.

It also offers superior accuracy so that you won’t face payment problems due to typos or other errors.

3. RevPayments Updates Credit Card Information Automatically

If your practice has outdated or expired credit card information on file, transactions will be declined, leading to delays in payment. RevPayments automatically updates credit card payment information each time a card is used. Automatic updating reduces transaction declines and interruptions in your revenue or cash flow from expired payment methods.
