About This Automation

Patient payment collection involves reviewing insurance payouts, calculating what a patient still owes, and chasing that balance through statements, reminders, and phone calls. The manual version pulls staff away from other work and often delays cash collection by days.

The automated version calculates balances the moment insurance posts, sends statements and reminders on its own, and matches incoming payments to the right account. Balances get resolved faster with far less manual follow-up.

Key features
Calculates the true patient balance automatically after insurance payments post
Generates and sends professional statements without manual formatting
Tracks outstanding balances in a shared ledger without extra data entry
Sends automatic reminders to patients with unpaid balances
Matches incoming payments to patient accounts and updates records instantly

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. EOB Poststrigger

Automation watches for a posted insurance EOB that leaves a patient-owed balance.

2. Statement & Reminder Calculates Balance

Computes the true patient balance and drafts a statement using the visit and payment details.

3. Statement Emailed

Sends the formatted statement to the patient's email on file immediately.

4. Balance Logged

Statement date, amount, and due date are recorded automatically on the aging tracker.

5. SMS Reminder Sent

If the balance is still open after 7 days, a reminder text goes out automatically.

6. Overdue Call Placed By Billing Team

If the balance is still unpaid after 14 days, the account routes to the billing coordinator's call list.

7. Payment Reconciled By Reconciliation

Once a payment lands, the automation matches it to the patient account and updates.
