About Cedar:

Cedar offers the first and only holistic solution that enables providers and payers to come together to offer an exceptional and affordable consumer financial healthcare experience. We’re reimagining the consumer aspects of healthcare, from the time an appointment is booked all the way to final payment. Only Cedar can take advantage of critical payer information and bring it together with provider financial and administrative processes to create the optimal experience for consumers navigating our challenging healthcare system. 

Product Description:

HealthNautica’s eORders™, software is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, cloud solution for managing the entire perioperative process and surgical scheduling without changing your scheduling system. It begins with the physician’s office filling out an online surgery scheduling or procedure request.

Gone are the days of illegible, incomplete, inaccurate faxes sent back and forth between the physician’s office and the facility’s scheduling department. The cumbersome and error prone faxing process is replaced by an electronic form that is configured to each facility’s exact specifications and reacts to the user’s input thereby assisting the physician’s office in getting it right the first time.

All orders are legible, complete, screened for CMS Medical Necessity, incorporate SCIP, VTE, SSI and ACS NSQIP measures, verified for insurance eligibility, pre-certified and satisfy edits by CMS, commercial payers and the facility. Our solution ensures efficient surgery center scheduling and block time management while streamlining processes such as prior authorization.

Product Capabilities

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.
