Dealing with medical bills can be a frustrating and confusing process. Between unclear insurance statements, complex billing codes, and delays getting invoices from multiple providers, it’s hard to keep track of what you owe. Fortunately, there’s a better way – MyChart.URMedicine.org. This intuitive online platform makes it simple to view, understand, and pay your medical bills all in one place.
The Problem with Traditional Medical Billing
Historically medical billing has been a disjointed, paper-based process that leaves patients confused. After a doctor’s appointment or hospital visit, you likely receive bills trickling in from various providers over weeks or months. These invoices are full of billing codes and legal jargon that make it hard to comprehend what you actually owe out of pocket.
Meanwhile, you’re left to piece together bills from primary care, specialists, labs, imaging, hospital stays, and more to try and make sense of total costs. Tracking down errors or discrepancies across multiple bills takes up your valuable time. Plus, it’s easy for payments to fall through the cracks when balancing bills from so many sources.
On the provider side, chasing down patient payments and updating accounts receivable is hugely labor intensive. Hours spent on billing administration means less time for actual patient care. And if patients delay paying bills because they’re confused by the process, it negatively impacts the clinic’s financial health. It’s clear the status quo isn’t working.
