Helping people make better healthcare decisions by improving their ability to pay for care

About us

Paytient helps people make better healthcare decisions by improving their ability to pay for care. We do this by bundling or embedding payment solutions like Paytient's Health Payment Account (HPA) and the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan alongside commercial, individual ACA, and Medicare plans. Armed with the power to decide how and when they pay for care, our users change their behavior in ways that improve their health and lower costs for everyone, which benefits plan sponsors. By 2025, Paytient will serve 25M lives and 6,000 enterprise clients including leading employers and payers such as Anthem, Centene, Cigna, R.R. Donnelley, and Hyatt Hotels. The company has earned a 90 NPS and 4.9 stars on Trustpilot. Here on Linkedin, we share insights about what we're learning as the leader in cost smoothing solutions—exploring what it means for consumers and their insurers. We also share updates from our growing team, open positions, and a behind the scenes look at what it really takes to change healthcare for the better.

  • Rethinking When and How We Pay for  Care 💡 Most people delay care before they ever reach the doctor’s counter. In fact, they delay it the moment they wonder, “Can I afford this?” By the time a patient reaches the checkout, it's too late. Instead, they need trustworthy financing solutions from the very moment they need care. 🕐 In our latest article, we explore how a proactive approach to healthcare affordability can help employers and brokers improve access, reduce financial stress, and strengthen benefit satisfaction before employees ever step into a waiting room. Read the article to learn how this approach to benefits design improves both employee lives and your company's bottom line. 💭 #B2B #Management #Leadership #Future #Strategy #Benefits

    Healthcare has its own language.. "accessing", "providing", "delivering", "paying" for care. Rarely, does we step back and say, who's selling, who's buying, and what is the price. The more we ask those questions, the better this gets in time... I started Paytient to intentionally work on Mark Cuban's #2 and we're coming for #1 - with the support of employers and millions of lives on our platform and an ability to pay for care. Admittedly, even the words 'buy' and 'sell' are often, and at times, rightly, ill-fitting and not possible (emergency, catastrophic, etc, etc). if you have an allergic reaction to my use of those words, please see past them and look at the concept of being intentional about knowing the price and exercising due judgment, where possible/practical, in the procurement of healthcare (whether for yourself or for the employees you're paying/buying on behalf of).

    Healthcare is a very simple business. We go to the Dr. The Dr tells us what we need (if anything). The ONLY questions are: 1. What does it cost 2. How will the patient pay for it Everything else is a complication. Unfortunately, those complications have removed all alignment between patients and the economics of healthcare The big insurance companies and the PBMs they own, create almost all of the complications. They are able to do so because they control the flow of patients for hospitals/providers and drug manufacturers. They are the gatekeepers for trillions of dollars of healthcare spending. Everyone has to kiss their ass and accept the complications. And they know the more they can complicate it, the better the financial engineering they can do They do this via their control of networks of providers and drug formularies. That's it. It's a simplification. But if we end their control of networks and formularies , healthcare can be transparent. prices will come down. Then the only question becomes how do patients that can't afford their care pay for it Answer: We use the trillions we just saved to help them. The best place to start is by getting Self Insured Employers to stop using the big companies that create the complications. The alternatives are better. But the employers are stuck in the old "no one ever got fired for using IBM mindset. Next, we need to get CMS to end PBM controlled formularies and to make the Medicare network of providers available to everyone and anyone. Not just Medicare and Medicaid patients. Of course they will be paid more. But if we significantly reduce all the complications , they can make money on less. we have seen this with our direct contracts. This is of course an oversimplification in a lot of ways. But CMS and employers have to start looking at the big picture so interests can be aligned and the complications removed. It will create better solutions for them and everyone. It's absolutely insane that insurers create plans that are optimized for their own profitability, doesn't matter whether it's an ACA, MA or employer plan. And as part of those plans they effectively get to decide the amount of cost and risk that the employer, consumer and provider take. . They create new plans as often as they want with whatever features they want and everyone else from employer to patient to provider has to absorb the administrative costs and all the complications associated with them Is it any wonder that overhead is anywhere from 20 to 30 percent of our 5T spend ? sorry for the rant. and I'm sure a lot of people disagree. But healthcare truly is a simple business. It's time for CMS and all of us to make decisions that simplify the industry thoughts ?

    Paytient was honored to again meet with several Members of Congress and their policy staff and discuss how we're helping tens of millions of Medicare Beneficiaries and commercially insured Americans more easily access & afford care. While personally it is always a surreal moment, professionally, I view our responsibility, as the market leader, to prepare and share a selfless perspective that helps those in positions of policy-shaping and making better understand where the nation's most innovative employers & insurers are heading. Outside of DC, what healthcare in 2027 looks like is already being discussed today and Paytient is part of or powering many of those conversations. The thesis that "self pay has a role to play" is one you'll see and hear more and more about in various forms across healthcare.
