How It Works
Patients pay you online in one of two ways:
- Through their health plan’s website
- Claim(s) are submitted to the patient’s health plan and the health plan sends the provider or the provider’s clearinghouse the explanation of payment (EOP)
- The patient’s health plan notifies the patient that they have a claim available to review and the patient can pay from the health plan’s website
- Through pay.instamed.com
- Patient searches for their provider and makes a payment based on the balance on their paper statement
Providers get paid faster and easier in one of these two ways:
- Register with InstaMed to receive payments via direct deposit into your existing bank account
or
- Receive a payment in the mail, which is processed the same way as other credit card payments received from a patient over the phone or in the mail
“Some of our patients prefer to make payments through their health plan’s member portal. InstaMed enabled us to accept these payments easily as direct deposits. We’ve seen transactions from this channel grow 10% month over month. Now, patients have an additional convenient way to pay, and we are collecting balances of all sizes that post automatically without any effort from staff.”
