Product Capabilities

Dash enables healthcare organizations to collect balances and copays anytime, whether it be at time of service or offered digitally through a notification post-care, making it easy for the patients to stay up to date. This integrated solution accesses your practice management data and automatically notifies patients when their bills are ready via the method of their preference (emails, text, etc.). Patients can easily pay their bill online from their mobile device, without having to log into a portal, or utilize the 24/7 interactive voice response (IVR) phone system.

Dash allows patients to easily enroll in a personalized payment plan, customizable by the organization, ensuring timely, automatic payments and saving staff time. It enables patients to securely store their HSA/FSA, debit card, credit card, as well as Apple Pay or Google Pay in an encrypted, tokenized format for future payments to your organization.

By integrating with real-time eligibility and patient estimation tools, Cedar Pre--our pre-visit patient engagement solution--sets appropriate payment expectations and drives more collections by personalizing the communication of out-of-pocket cost estimates. Cedar Pre dynamically presents the right financial context, payment options and calls to action to drive optimal financial outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Cedar Pay provides a modern, consumer-first billing experience with clear, accurate and empathetic communications via digital (email and SMS) and paper-based channels. Cedar creates powerful digital engagement by communicating with patients at the best times to collect, using their preferred channels, and messages and calls to action that resonate, which is why our clients typically see 60-70% of payments self-serviced digitally.

Cedar Pay’s consolidated patient financial statement includes both professional and facility charges as well as bills for guarantors and their dependents. The unified bill is presented in a patient-centric design, translating complex medical information into straightforward language for improved patient comprehension.

Cedar Pay is the only patient billing and payment solution that directly integrates with payers to simplify and streamline the patient financial experience. We build confidence in the billing process by prominently displaying payer branding next to balances to indicate that a payer has finished processing a claim, as well as that a bill and EOB matches. We also present detailed EOB information alongside bills, eliminating the need for patients to call in to customer service or log in to multiple portals.

Cedar Pay allows patients to pay bills on their own terms through modern, personalized payment options. As a mobile-first platform, Cedar presents patients with several payment methods and options including credit card, debit card, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The platform dynamically engages with patients in a personalized manner by incorporating relevant patient-specific payment options and/or amounts (e.g., discounts, payment plans, etc.). Additionally, Cedar Pay supports traditional payment methods such as check by mail via a provider’s lockbox and secure pay by phone via interactive voice response.
