Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Providers of healthcare spend significantly on resources and time to gather payment due to outdated, often manual, approaches. Given that patient liability is increasing five times quicker than total reimbursement, providers are not equipped enough to adjust to this trend.
Waystar’s technology platform is intended to address this issue for hospitals by streamlining processes including claims management, patient billing and collection.
Connance provides patient propensity-to-pay and social determinant predictive algorithms, as well as vendor management software.
