SAN ANTONIO, June 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Payment Data Systems (NASDAQ: PYDS), a tech-enabled payment solutions provider, announced today that software partner, PracticeSuite, a Newark, California-based SaaS physician practice management platform and services company serving over 57,000 medical professionals, has completed an integration to Payment Data’s ‘PayFac-in-a-Box’ technology and as a result, will launch its ePayments offering to existing and future prospective clients across its Revenue Cycle Management, Practice Management and prior authorization automation solutions this month. The PracticeSuite launch represents Payment Data Systems’ continued penetration and traction inside of the targeted healthcare sector.
Vaden Landers, EVP and Chief Revenue Officer at Payment Data Systems, said, “We are excited and pleased that PracticeSuite has chosen to integrate our best-in-class payments technology into their robust practice management and patient billing software. Our PayFac integration layer affords PracticeSuite the unmatched ability to quickly and seamlessly contract and onboard, in mass, their existing customer base to our PayFac-in-a-Box platform, allowing for the anticipated broad adoption and traction due to the enhanced value proposition afforded PracticeSuite customers by way of the integration. This technology collaboration will enable physicians to more efficiently and effectively conduct financial transactions inside the PracticeSuite platform prior to, at, or after time of care, effectively eliminating the need and dependency on traditional and manual invoicing and collection processes.”
Trey Wilson, SVP of Corporate Development at PracticeSuite noted, “Integrating to the Payment Data Systems payment facilitation technology enhances the overall value proposition PracticeSuite offers its customers through our practice management and enhanced Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) solution. Through this integration, we expect the patient experience to significantly improve due to our ability to now seamlessly and cost-effectively remit payments and reconcile outstanding balances within our software platform. Moving forward, this will be the sole way for PracticeSuite physician clients to collect payments inside our software, as this will be our exclusive payment integration. This level of functionality is something that we have been working toward for some time and we are elated that we now have payment technology fully resident within our software in order to bring more value to the table for users while more broadly monetizing financial transactions by leveraging the Payment Data Systems technology.”
