WellSpan patients will benefit from a single monthly statement for the entire family that consolidates bills from hospitals, doctors and other clinicians, while also including an easy-to-read explanation of benefits.
“With the true economic impact of today’s recession yet to be fully realized, providers need to be intentional in providing patients with solutions that are flexible and tailored to the circumstances of both the individual and their family,” said Kent Ivanoff, CEO and co-founder of VisitPay. “We are excited to work with WellSpan in driving forward a future of care that puts the patient’s physical and financial well-being first.”
