"The InstaMed Provider Adoption Program has enabled us to deliver ERA/EFT to providers who were previously reluctant to adopt. That makes the gains even more impressive. We are finally seeing cost savings and efficiency improvements we expected to achieve with electronic transactions. Plus, our providers have been very happy with the ease of use of the InstaMed Platform."
