How does SwervePay work

• Automated Messaging : It sends messages and notifications to the patients regarding appointments and payments.
• Seamless Integration: Payments are seamlessly integrated with your existing Patient Management System via AR write back, making scheduling, billing and collections easier to manage.
• One Click Payments: Secure Card-On-File technology allows you to securely store patient credit card info in your PMS/EHR.

Quoting two different reports, SwervePay states that 64 percent of patients won’t use portals (Harris Poll) and 98 percent won’t use hospital/physician mobile apps (Accenture). SwervePay is paperless and offers an immediate on-the-go electronic payment solution. “Solutions that focus on presenting the right data, at the right time, to the right audience to facilitate a payment is essential for the healthcare industry,” said Gary Holdren, Founder of Garland Capital Group and former CEO and Founder of Huron Consulting. “I consistently hear from healthcare leaders their need for a product like this. I have yet to see any other software payment offering like SwervePay. They are truly a leader in this space.” SwervePay raised a Series A funding round of $1.6 million in 2014.
