ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Patientco,
a next-generation patient payment technology company, today announced
that MedTech
Breakthrough, an independent organization that recognizes the top
companies and solutions in the global health and medical technology
market, has named the company’s payment platform as the “Best New
Healthcare Payments Solution.”
Patientco’s consolidated billing and payment solution includes
functionality for consumer-friendly digital communications such as
eBills and SMS texts, and printed statements. The solution also provides
intuitive consumer-facing payment options, including affordable,
self-service payment plans. By integrating communication with payment
tools, Patientco translates patient engagement to payment dollars,

company’s analytics platform, Patientco creates new insights to
personalize engagement and improve the patient payment experience while
generating more dollars for Health Systems.
“Patientco was founded to alleviate many of the challenges associated
with patient payments because we believe Health Systems and patients
deserve better than the status quo,” said Bird Blitch, co-founder and
CEO of Patientco. “Patientco’s platform dramatically simplifies the
revenue cycle process for Health Systems, integrating with all major EHR
systems to power automation. For patients, our technology delivers a
better financial experience while making healthcare more affordable,
yielding more payments today and building patient loyalty for the
future.”

Their platform provides a superior financial experience that is designed
