PatientPay has officially launched Accelerate by PatientPay, a new solution designed to close the gap between payer-collected patient payments and cleared revenue. This innovation helps providers get paid faster, reduce manual processing, and dramatically lighten reconciliation workloads.
When a patient pays through an insurance portal, providers often face weeks of delay and hours of manual data entry to get those funds posted. Accelerate eliminates that burden, automatically transferring and reconciling payments without the need to send paper statements or manually match patient accounts.

This rollout includes integrations with major payers representing over one million providers, giving organizations of all sizes access to faster, cleaner, and more efficient patient payment workflows.
