Your healthcare practice needs a patient estimator for several reasons. With the increasing demand for transparency in medical costs, patients now have the right to access pricing information. A provider is now required to provide patients with their estimated cost 4 days prior to service. Plus, many patients with large deductibles want to pay at the time of service and 80% of the practices cannot meet this demand of providing clear financial expectations to patients. This also aligns with the 2022 No Surprise Act and helps in building trust and satisfaction with your patients. Additionally, it enables your practice to inform out-of-network patients about the scope of their financial obligations. Learn more about patient estimators here.
