UMC Healthcare Collections, L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of UMC, Inc., has introduced its new Show Me My Discount electronic payment processing platform to the healthcare marketplace. The Show Me My Discount payment processing platform is a secure, Web-based, patient-driven, electronic solution for late stage accounts receivable collections that provides time-sensitive discounts to users.
According to Patrick Gough, the company’s chief operating officer, “This e-commerce solution was developed to provide secure, innovative, technology to aid patients in resolving their outstanding obligations without what many patients perceive as the hassle of human or collector intervention.”
“Patients simply follow the instructions outlined in the invitation letter that directs them to www.ShowMeMyDiscount.com, log-in to the Web site using information provided to authenticate, and take advantage of time sensitive, preapproved discounts on their outstanding medical account balances. It's easy to use and effective,” said Gough.
The platform will be immediately marketed to members of the medical community and ARM service providers who understand that, from time to time, patients with no insurance or higher deductibles and co-payments may require extra inducements to settle their outstanding medical obligations.
Additionally, the Show Me My Discount electronic processing platform provides healthcare ARM servicers and professionals – who continually seek innovative ideas to offer their customers – an effective way of increasing returns while keeping their client’s community image in mind, said the company.
UMC, Inc., through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides revenue cycle management solutions to hospitals, physician group practices, clinics, and other healthcare providers. Its services include e-commerce software solutions, extended business office, and traditional collections targeted to the healthcare industry.
