Our EquityPay Suite of Services

PayVow, Salud’s proprietary self-pay solution, uses technology combined with social psychology to get people to commit to paying their medical bills. It involves a live person using a friendly, non-confrontational approach and an interactive voice response system designed to get patients to confirm their intention to pay or not pay their balance. This recorded declaration is associated with a much higher rate of payment.

CASESTUDY
Challenge
A patient accounting system conversion at a regional referral center in the Midwest left self-pay statements going out long after final service, with patients getting billed prior to insurers. Patient complaints had risen, requiring more staff levels to field those calls. Aged AR and bad debt reserves were increasing. The client wanted to get 50% of all self-pay patients onto a payment plan within a year.
​
Solution
PayVow was put into play. Patients are now referred to a financial aid program and offered a payment plan. Three of every five self-pay patients take the deal.​
