Introducing Paytient: a new interest-free way for your patients to pay for out-of-pocket costs

As your partner in health, Anthem is here to help your patients more easily access and pay for the care they need, while also reducing your administrative burden of collections.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Paytient, a Health Payment Account (HPA) that makes paying for medical and pharmacy expenses easier with interest-free flexible payment plans. Paytient offers many benefits, which include allowing your patients the ability to focus on what matters most — improving their health and wellness.

Giving you and your patients peace of mind

Paytient gives your patients with Anthem individual and family Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant plans the power to pay for out-of-pocket healthcare costs over time, interest-free, and with no fees or credit check. They can just choose a payment plan that works for them.

Removing you and your staff from the debt equation

Paytient pays you as soon as your patients swipe their card — taking you out of the debt equation and ensuring you get paid faster. You don’t need to assume any of the debt risk to your balance sheet, as the card allows you to reliably receive payment at the point of care or on the first billing cycle. Your eligible patients can also use their Paytient card to pay for late or unpaid bills, so long as they’re not with a collection agency. This means you won’t have to go through the burden of collections — saving you and your staff time and money.

Paytient is only available to those with an individual or family ACA-compliant plan offered by Anthem in Virginia, Georgia, and Missouri.

Share this information with your office staff to help support your patients in need. To learn more, visit paytient.com/anthem or contact your local provider relationship management representative.

Through our efforts, we are committed to reducing administrative burden and ensuring timely payments because we value you, our care provider partners.
