65% of Epic customers also use RevSpring. No matter where you may be on the Epic integration continuum, RevSpring has a payment solution that makes sense for your unique workflows. We leverage a full suite of integration touchpoints for taking payments using MyChart or Hyperspace.
Check out our infographic which gives a side-by-side comparison of payment integration options and things to consider when making a payment integration decision. The goal is finding the integrated payment option that will work best for you to increase yield and user satisfaction for your organization.
Many healthcare organizations are struggling with a lean staff. Increase payments while alleviating pressure on your staff with RevSpring’s IVR Advantage. IVR Advantage allows you to take unlimited payments 24/7 and eases inbound payment calls by 20%. The cherry on top is that all payments are seamlessly posted back to your Epic system.
How does it work?
When a patient calls into your payments phone line, they are greeted with an automated attendant to verify their identity, enter an account number, and access current account balances and real-time payments using credit and debit cards or electronic check. Payments are then automatically posted into Epic and available for viewing immediately by your staff and patients.
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 Epic Hyperspace can seamlessly launch deviceless payments by quickly sending the patient a direct encrypted link via email or text. The link launches a payment page which allows them to complete the payment transaction. CSRs also can 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 Epic 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.

Self-serve consumerism is a part of everyday life. Your patients are accustomed to accessing information, ordering items, and making payments without any other human interaction. Why would this behavior change when interacting with a healthcare organization?
One big self-serve area to explore is fulfilling patient responsibility payments. There are a number of technology options that can both meet patients how they wish to interact and alleviate some of the stress your stretched staff resources feel. The best part is that these all interact with your Epic solution.
Interactive Voice Response (IVR): Offload 25-30% of your call center payment calls by using a healthcare oriented IVR solution. It’s available to your patients 24/7/365 making it the ultimate self-service tool and we see 75% of inbound IVR calls result in a payment. Once a payment is made, it can be posted automatically into your Epic solution.
Online Portal: Providing patients access to making payments right within MyChart, is an easy solution for self service payments. Using the right payment gateway provider, you can complete every transaction without a patient leaving MyChart and the transactions are automatically posted back into Epic as your record of truth.
Self-service is here to stay. Make sure you are interacting with your patients in a way that best suits them. It can save your team for more complex interactions and fulfills your patients’ expectations.
RevSpring’s Predict for Epic scores use a broad blend of data and dynamic modeling techniques designed to increase the precision of your patient insight. You can be confident that you are matching the best payment option to the needs of each of your patients individually.
By applying demographic and behavioral data to your patient information, you can better understand the probability that they can and will pay their responsibility. It also gives insight into whether they might qualify for financial assistance, curbing the likelihood of accidentally placing them on a bad debt track.
One thing that we have learned is not to use scores where the model includes credit scores. That model misses any patients who may not have credit scores or those who have a more non-traditional financial situation. It also can potentially cause their credit score to get hit when the model runs, which is not advantageous to patient satisfaction.
In addition to typical scoring post service – there are options within Epic to get this same intelligence pre and point of service. An example is our integration within Hyperspace where a staff person can access patient propensity to pay or financial assistance scores. Knowing this information up-front can greatly assist your staff interactions with patients.
With all of this intelligence, you are able to further treat patients’ financial journeys individually leading to better payment outcomes.
RevSpring’s new merchant services integration allows pharmacies to seamlessly take, process and reconcile payments without ever leaving Epic.
RevSpring’s Willow integration tracks the percentage of non-medical purchases within the same transaction as a pharmacy sale. Transactions are automatically categorized into non-medical versus medical and the SIGIS IIAS-certification eliminates the need to annually apply to prove IIAS compliance.

Healthcare demands engaging patients how they prefer—and—driving results. Luckily, Digital Doorways powered by RevSpring let Epic 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 Epic 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:
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.
“The results we have (achieved) with RevSpring are almost three-fold what we were bringing in. It’s amazing. You can see month-to-month, how many payments are being taken without (patients) talking to my staff. . . More than half of the payments. . . are going through IVR or through MyChart. That leaves my team more time to talk about real issues.”
Those are the comments of Steven Ballard, supervisor of Patient Financial Services at UT Health San Antonio, who shared his organization’s story in a short, recorded interview. He described UT Health’s experience with patient financial engagement using RevSpring solutions—including IVR Advantage™ and PersonaPay™ for Patient Self-Service—and how this has driven dramatic improvements in patient payments, including:
“[RevSpring] integrated into MyChart (provides) the ability to take payments through there. I think that opened it up to the computer generation that really likes to do things online and on their own. That’s where the most of our growth has come from, through MyChart, and it is very much welcomed,” Steven added.

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 Epic customers!
RevSpring, which is integrated with the Epic HIS system, offers a streamlined method for complying with the Price Transparency rule through an easy-to-use online price shopping tool:
Coffeyville Regional Medical Center (CRMC) recently implemented RevSpring’s price transparency services. “These tools allow us to prepare patients for costs in advance. We are able to have conversations about costs, and if we learn they can’t pay it all, we can offer assistance through payment plans or even charity when appropriate. I also think this will allow us to collect more dollars upfront while continuing to provide the care that is needed,” explains CRMC director of patient financial services Shannon Uhrmacher.
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.
