Overview
Patientco is a healthcare technology company that provides patient payment solutions for Health Systems. It helps health systems improve the patient billing experience and financial results by offering an integrated platform of communication and payment tools. The product works by applying Health System-specific rules and user preferences, plus behavioral data, to tailor communications and payment options. It uses machine learning to analyze millions of billing interactions, so messages and payment prompts are personalized and more effective, making it easier for staff and patients to complete payments. This differentiation comes from its data-driven personalization, ease of use, and alignment with health system workflows. The company’s goal is to boost patient payment rates and satisfaction, which in turn supports more timely payments, better cash flow for health systems, and higher patient loyalty and future visits.
