Patient Price Estimation
Patient Price Estimation tools enables providers to generate accurate and transparent cost estimates for patients prior to receiving medical services. This category focuses on tools and products designed to help providers create Good Faith Estimates (GFEs) in compliance with regulatory requirements. Accurate GFEs help patients understand their potential financial obligations, reduce surprise billing, and support informed consent. These products enable key workflows including:
Data Collection: Gathering relevant patient information, including insurance details, medical history, and the specific services or procedures anticipated.
Cost Calculation: Using advanced algorithms and up-to-date pricing information to calculate the estimated cost of services. This includes all potential charges such as procedures, tests, consultations, and any associated fees.
Transparency: Presenting the estimated costs in a clear and understandable format for patients. This helps patients make informed decisions about their healthcare and financial planning.
Compliance: Ensuring that the estimates meet regulatory standards, particularly the requirements set by laws such as the No Surprises Act. This involves providing detailed and accurate GFEs to patients.
Communication: Effectively communicating the cost estimates to patients, including explaining any potential variables that might affect the final bill.
