Overview
Paytient provides a payroll-integrated financing platform that helps employees pay for out-of-pocket medical costs over time. It works by partnerships with employers and insurers to offer the benefit within health plans, with the platform connecting to payroll so eligible medical bills are financed and repaid through payroll deductions. Unlike standalone lenders, Paytient embeds healthcare financing directly into employer and insurer benefits, aiming to ease short-term financial strain and improve plan satisfaction and retention. Its goal is to reduce employees' healthcare financial burden, boost well-being, and help employers retain talent by making medical expenses more affordable.
