InstaMed Projects Over $100 Million in Member Payments Volume

PHILADELPHIA & NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--()--InstaMed, the leading Healthcare Payments Network, announced today that it projects to process over $100 million in patient payments made through its new Member Payments solution. Member Payments enables patients to pay all of their healthcare providers online from their health plan’s website as soon as claims are adjudicated.

The Member Payments solution launched early this year. Since the launch, the daily payment volume has grown 15-fold. Additionally, the InstaMed Network is adding 1,000 new healthcare providers per week, as more patients elect to pay their healthcare providers using their health plan’s website.

“The Member Payments solution is a great way for us to connect with patients quickly for payments,” said Franco Rizzolo, DC, Partner and Administrator of Suburban Orthopaedic Medical Center. “I am receiving payments faster without having to print and mail statements, and my patients love having a convenient place to pay all of their providers.”

“Processing patient payments is complex because it involves at least three parties and multiple steps,” said Bill Marvin, President and CEO of InstaMed. “Processing patient payments in a secure, compliant and convenient manner is one of the biggest challenges in healthcare. Member Payments is a new and innovative payment channel that enables health plans to leverage our network to integrate with the financial and payment card networks, creating a simpler payment process for providers and patients.”
