RevSpring Arrived™ and PersonaPay™ Available in Oracle Health Marketplace

Arrived™, our KLAS award-winning patient communication platform, is embedded directly within the Oracle Health Revenue Cycle system, and gives your staff visibility into automated patient communication and self-scheduling requests, and facilitates two-way messaging. Patients enjoy unparalleled communication ease while reducing staff burden which eliminates the need for paper forms. It increases data quality and consistency, while improving the overall patient experience and your office efficiency. Arrived coordinates patient in-take and appointment self-scheduling within Oracle Health Millennium Revenue Cycle.

In addition, the following are written back into Oracle Health Millennium Revenue Cycle:

• Cancelled appointment reminders
• PDF copies of intake forms
• Field-level demographics

PersonaPay™ embeds both patient self-serve and staff-assisted payments directly into Oracle Health. The patient payment portal states clear payment options tailored to each patient’s unique needs, while giving patients the option for payment plans, electronic statement delivery and payment preferences. This, combined with the ease of seamless integration, increases patient portal adoption and use.

PersonaPay for Staff-Assisted Payments empowers staff to securely collect payments without the friction of leaving an Oracle Health instance. This application includes RevSpring’s marquee Deviceless Payments where staff never interact directly with the patient’s private banking or card information when taking payments over the phone.

The following integrations are available:

• PersonaPay Patient Payments: embedded into Oracle Mpages
• PersonaPay Staff-Assisted Payments: embedded into Oracle Health Millennium Revenue Cycle, Ambulatory ASP and CommunityWorks

All of the integrations include direct payments posting back into the above Oracle Health instances.

These RevSpring solutions provide patients with something they clearly want and expect—the ability to self-serve when, where and how it is most convenient for them. They also empower your staff to communicate and take payments, easily and seamlessly, all within the convenience of your Oracle Health instance with one consistent record of truth.

Creating a Connected Patient Experience

Creating a smooth transition in the patient’s journey from pre-care communications and payments to post-care engagement can be tricky. In addition, you want to incorporate your Cerner environment into the mix as soon as possible.

RevSpring provides solutions for the pre-care setting that will greatly benefit you and your patients during their post-care engagement journey, many of which can be incorporated into your Cerner environment.

Necessity is the Mother of All Innovation

As the saying goes, “Necessity is the mother of all innovation.”  In March of 2020, the RevSpring payments team needed a viable way to help our customers take secure payments when working from home.

Enter Deviceless Payments, a secure way to eliminate payment devices either at home or in the workplace when interacting with the patient’s credit/debit card or banking information over the phone.

Providers using Cerner can seamlessly launch deviceless payments by:

• quickly sending the patient a direct encrypted link via email or text
• launching a payment page which allows patients to complete the payment transaction
• having your staff accept payments over the phone using RevSpring’s SafeMode, which allows patients to privately enter their credit card or ACH information with the DTMFs and payment information completely masked from the CSR and never crossing your network.

The best part is that these payments are then posted back into Cerner in real-time, reflecting current payments and balances. Using RevSpring’s Deviceless Payments has allowed customers to save tens of thousands to millions of dollars on device maintenance and upkeep, depending on the size of the device operations.

Get patient feedback to build loyalty

Failure to retain patients can be painfully expensive. Patient acquisition efforts cost five times more than maintaining existing patients. This statistic clearly shows the importance of cultivating loyal patients—and it’s easier than you think. Simply asking patients about their healthcare and billing experience not only shows patients that you care, but also helps you identify care gaps and create effective action plans.

Simple one question surveys on each patient’s experience will quickly start to expose trends. Easily gauge the level of satisfaction for billing experiences and the reason for that satisfaction after each transaction through RevSpring’s Appointment Reminders and PersonaPay patient billing portal fully integrated into Cerner.

So don’t guess your patients’ satisfaction level, measure it!

Personalized Patient Communication to Build Trust

Physicians and caregivers can build trust by being consistent, expressing empathy and setting and meeting realistic expectations. That familiar relationship—predicated on building trust—is important to ensure that patients respond and follow the advice of their care providers. When patient trust extends to patient communications, the likelihood of response—and loyalty—increases. Here are some examples:

Automated Appointment Reminders

Avoid a one and done strategy. Use phone, text, and email reminders together to meet patients where they’re at and to get the response you want. Each communication channel carries its own benefits:

• Email: Allows for a longer form. A great place for links to forms, COVID-19 information, or patient portals.
• Phone calls: Create personal and human interactions while reaching the senior population more effectively.
• Text messages: A quick and convenient reminder, and smart phones allow touch-to-add to calendar.

Conversation Manager

Our Conversations solution makes texting easier by routing incoming patient text messages through a messaging management tool.

• Conversations will orchestrate incoming patient messages through a staff-facing messaging center, making it easier for healthcare providers to manage a higher number of patient interactions while spending less time on the phone.
• Staff are empowered to facilitate timely conversations and provide valuable resources to patients.

It’s all part of a patient engagement strategy that builds trust with your patients as they come to know, understand, and engage whenever and however suits their needs best. Learn more by reading our recent white paper: Building Trust with Patients.

Reconciliation Made Easy

Manual reconciliation can be frustrating and time consuming. You want to settle transactions as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours of authorization. The closer you are to that threshold the less likely patients are to dispute a charge. To help achieve that 24 hour settlement timeframe, RevSpring offers an automated reconciliation tool that gives you easy insight into the funding status of any payment taken through your Cerner solution using our Merchant Services.

Promote a Seamless Payment Experience for Patients and Staff

RevSpring’s PersonaPay™ portal is now fully integrated into both your staff and patient instances of Cerner. This KLAS leading payment portal allows you to:

• Offer the right payment options to each individual patient

• Post payments in real-time back into Cerner

Manage Postal Costs by Offering Digital Statements

With inflation causing increased prices in almost every area including print and mail costs, you may need to consider new ways to send patient communications and billing. Offering digital statements to patients is a great way to cut postal costs while improving the patient experience—and the likelihood of payment action.

Allowing patients to easily select digital statements within RevSpring’s PersonaPay portal—fully embedded in Cerner—leads to a 2X increase in eBill adoption and increased self-service payments by 6.5%.

Unlock Digital Doorways for your patients

Healthcare demands engaging patients how they prefer—and—driving results. Luckily, Digital Doorways powered by RevSpring let Cerner users do both!

Digital communication, combined with targeted applications, automation and predictive analytics, is accelerating the advancement of patient-centric digital doorways that are key to better financial results for providers.

Digital doorways align perfectly with the needs of patients for communication and financial engagement that is convenient and flexible. Some are calling it a “digital front door,” which most typically refers to a marketing effort aimed at building a provider’s brand identity. At RevSpring, digital doorways for Cerner users are more comprehensive. They encapsulate a holistic and connected approach to patient engagement, with tremendous benefits for patients and providers alike.

Most importantly, digital doorways can improve patient engagement no matter where a patient—or healthcare provider—happens to be today in their adoption of digital solutions.

 Digital Doorways can include:

• Patient Outreach
• Automated Appointment Reminders
• Digital Patient Intake
• Patient Satisfaction Surveys
• Digital Payment Options

The true power of digital doorways lies in the strategy that connect them, ensuring that providers are able to generate best responses and highest rates of return.

The keys to unlocking such a strategy? Advanced analytics and smart automation that allow providers to act on data and make changes to patient engagement in real time.

Read our guide to learn how you can make Digital Doorways a part of your patient engagement strategy.

Achieve Price Transparency compliance

The federal government’s Price Transparency rule for hospitals is now a reality, but as many hospitals struggle to meet the requirements it’s a case of “reality bites.” Fortunately, there’s a cure and it’s painless to boot—especially for Cerner customers.

RevSpring offers a streamlined method for complying with the Price Transparency rule through an easy-to-use online price shopping tool:

• Embedded on your own website
• Provide clarity to empower patients
• Encourage patients to say “yes” to needed treatment and services

This is exactly what is happening at a small non-profit hospital that recently accessed our price transparency services. Patient Financial Services leaders at Coffeyville Regional Medical Center (CRMC) are so delighted with their new ability to easily discuss costs with patients prior to care, they now are implementing RevSpring’s price shopping tool for consumers and our estimation tool for its registrars.

CRMC—and other hospitals and health systems that meet, and even exceed, the price transparency rule—will be in a strong position to give patients more options, more choices, and more knowledge to prepare them for their financial responsibilities, which patients will reward with loyalty, more timely payments, and referrals.

Improve Payments and the Patient Experience with RevSpring Predict™

Most patients intend to pay when healthcare bills arrive. Yet good intentions can be overwhelmed in the face of unexpectedly high costs not easily handled within a patient’s monthly budget. When patients feel unable to pay on time and in full, they sometimes pay nothing at all.

That’s when RevSpring Predict™ can make a huge difference for Cerner clients—sometimes by increasing revenue collections by up to 15 percent (the average is a healthy 6 percent). We do this with better predictions of which patients are more apt to pay specific amounts.

Three key scores reveal everything you need to know:

1. Propensity to pay: Offer targeted payment options based on the patient’s ability to pay
2. Payment plan optimization: Fine-tune the recommended payment plan amount and payment duration period
3. Financial assistance: Proactively identify whether a patient qualifies for financial assistance

These scores are highly precise and enable providers to offer patients a realistic and flexible payment experience. We use a broader blend of data and more dynamic modeling techniques to give you clear insight and confidence—all without touching patient credit scores. Score information provides patient-specific guidance for messaging that works for various propensity to pay outcomes—all in conjunction with your Cerner EMR environment.

Your outcomes?

• Predict likely payment behavior
• Improve cash flow
• See better payment results
• Cultivate stronger customer satisfaction and loyalty

RevSpring Predict eliminates guesswork about how patients will respond to their financial responsibilities.
