Payment Delays Often Start Before Billing Sees the Account

ASC financial friction is rarely a single checkout problem. It starts when insurance information is incomplete, eligibility is reviewed too late, patient responsibility is unclear, or staff have to chase payment through disconnected channels.

Insurance details are missing or outdated before the procedure.

Cards on file quietly expire or change payers between visits and no one finds out until the claim bounces.

Eligibility questions surface too close to arrival.

Coverage checks run late, so plan changes and inactive policies show up when options are fewest.

Patient responsibility becomes a day-of conversation.

The first real talk about what's owed happens at the desk, minutes before the procedure.

Prior balances are easy to miss during a busy check-in.

During a busy morning, outstanding amounts slip past the desk and roll into post-visit cleanup.

Staff rely on repeated calls and manual reminders.

The same payment conversation happens again and again by phone, one patient at a time.

Payment activity sits apart from intake, communication, and visit readiness.

Collections live in one system while intake, communication, and visit readiness live in others.

How it works

Turn intake into a pre-arrival readiness workflow

CERTIFY Health moves the administrative work forward. Patients can complete required intake steps before arrival, while staff can see what is complete, what changed, and what still needs attention.

Step 01 · Capture

Insurance details captured at intake, not at the desk

Capture insurance information during digital intake and pre-registration.

Step 02 · Verify

Eligibility and benefits context, before it's urgent

Use eligibility and benefits workflows where payer data is available and configured.

Step 03 · Present

Balances and responsibility, shown at the right moment

Present configured balances, copays, payment amounts, or responsibility prompts at appropriate points in the workflow.

Step 04 · Send

From reminder to payment in one tap

Send payment links, Text-to-Pay messages, reminders, and electronic statements.

Step 05 · Collect

Anything unresolved meets patients on their channel

Support card-on-file, payment plans, autopay, online payments, in-office payments, and other enabled CERTIFY Pay workflows.

Step 06 · Track

One dashboard for what's done, changed, and pending

Give staff visibility into payment activity, reminders, plans, and transaction status through connected reporting and dashboards where configured.

The platform supported more than $100 million in patient payments over the year, averaging about $11 million per month across the large-scale deployment.

$ 0 M+

Collected through Text-to-Pay

More than $1 million was collected through SMS payment links, giving patients a direct path from reminder to action on their phone.

$ 0 K

Collected through payment plans

Across 168 payment plans in 87 clinics over six months, the workflow collected $110,000. Fewer than 5% of plans experienced cancellation, decline, or insufficient funds.

Why ASC Teams Choose CERTIFY Health for Payment Readiness

Where CERTIFY Health Creates Procedure-Day Payment Readiness

CERTIFY Health ASC payment readiness software connects insurance capture, eligibility context, patient responsibility prompts, Text-to-Pay, card-on-file, payment plans, autopay, statements, reminders, and transaction visibility into the patient-facing workflow before and after the procedure.

The surgical EHR, coding platform, claims engine, payer contract system, OR system, and billing system stay in their lane. CERTIFY Health strengthens the patient-facing payment workflow around those systems so missing insurance details, unclear balances, and unresolved payment conversations surface early enough for staff to act.

What ASC Payment Readiness Looks Like with CERTIFY Health

Frequently asked questions

What is ASC payment readiness software from CERTIFY Health?
It connects insurance capture, eligibility context, patient communication, payment prompts, and payment options around the ASC patient journey so financial work can begin earlier.
No. CERTIFY Health supports patient-facing payment and revenue-readiness workflows around existing billing, EHR, EMR, PM, PMS, and revenue systems where integrations are available.

Yes, depending on configuration and the amounts available in the workflow. CERTIFY Health can support payment links, Text-to-Pay, online payments, in-office payments, card-on-file, payment plans, autopay, and electronic statements where enabled.

CERTIFY Health should not be positioned as a standalone surgical estimation engine. Where patient responsibility amounts or estimates are supplied through connected systems and approved configurations, the workflow can support presenting and collecting those amounts.

Insurance capture and eligibility visibility can help staff identify coverage questions earlier. That gives the team more time to act before the issue becomes a day-of payment conversation or post-visit cleanup.
