Premier Processing Systems (PPS) works with healthcare facilities across the nation in streamlining electronic payment acceptance. We understand that it takes simplicity and convenience to run a practice efficiently, and we want to assist in providing that simplicity and convenience in accepting electronic payments. Many physicians and practioners experience lengthen collection cycles with patients, causing increases in accounts receivables. Typically, three to five percent of receivables are written off as bad debt due to uncollected payments from patients. Utilizing PPS’s automated bill payment tool, PPS Payment Gateway, can help you reduce your write-offs, while shortening collection cycles.

Thirty-six percent of patients typically have a past due balance of 60 days or more. Utilizing PPS for electronic payment acceptance, your practice can reduce this percentage by scheduling automated payment plans to collect full and co-payments on a timely basis.
