PracticeSuite Set to Offer Physicians An Integrated Payment Solution Within Its Practice Management and Revenue Cycle Management Platform

PracticeSuite and its 57,000+ medical professionals will now be able
to seamlessly accept and process virtually all forms of electronic
payments inside its practice management platform

SILICON VALLEY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PracticeSuite, a Silicon Valley, California-based SaaS physician
Practice Management Software platform and Revenue Cycle services company
serving over 57,000 medical professionals, announced today that it had
completed an integration to Payment Data Systems’ technology (Nasdaq:PYDS)
and as a result, will launch its ePayments
offering to existing and future physician clients across its Revenue
Cycle Management, Practice Management and prior authorization automation
solutions this month.

The ePayments launch represents an additional level of timely
functionality needed by physicians who have seen patient responsibility
rise 400% over the last decade, and is still on the rise, out-pacing
insurance premiums by 6%, according to a recent Kaiser
Foundation report
.

“The ability for our doctors and their office staff to conveniently
accept virtually any type of electronic payment – over the phone, at the
point of service, or within the patient portal – creates a smoother
patient experience and helps to eliminate costly and inefficient
statements and post-visit collections,” cites Trey Wilson, SVP of
Corporate Development at PracticeSuite. “It goes a long way to enhancing
the physician-patient relationship by allowing the practice to focus on
patient care rather than patient balances. Finally, it helps our
physicians practice profitably, which is our goal and mission.”
