Payment Engagement Technology — Collect copays and patient accounts receivable with automated digital technology

About us

Rivia Health brings easeful efficiency to healthcare patient payments. We work with healthcare provider organizations to complement their revenue cycle operations and get them paid more while doing less. Rivia Health alleviates staff overwhelm by reducing manual tasks related to outstanding patient responsibility. Our communication and payment platform integrates with the practice management or RCM system to automate billing workflows like appointment and billing reminders, copay or pre-service payments, and payment plan setup. In addition to saving staff time, Rivia Health also improves financial results by communicating more dynamically to patients about balances across text and email and by making it easier for patients to pay across multiple payment methods with a 3-step, no login required process. Our existing customers have described our results as "Outstanding!" with a 90% reduction in outstanding accounts receivable and 75% of payments are made by day 2, before a paper statement would even arrive.

    Tip of the Week: Uncover Hidden Revenue in Returned Statements Healthcare providers, are you overlooking a potential goldmine in your revenue cycle? Many organizations send paper statements and consider the job done when they're mailed out. But what about those statements returned due to incorrect addresses? Here's this week's tip: Don't stop at returned mail. Those undelivered statements represent uncommunicated patient financial responsibility - and potential lost revenue. Instead of writing off these accounts, consider alternative communication methods: 1. Email: Often more up-to-date than mailing addresses 2. Text messages: High open rates and immediate delivery 3. Phone calls: Personal touch for larger balances By diversifying your outreach, you can: • Reduce write-offs • Improve patient communication • Increase collection rates Remember, in today's digital age, a returned paper statement doesn't mean the end of the road. It's an opportunity to connect with your patients through their preferred channels. #HealthcareBilling #RevenueCycleManagement #PatientCommunication #RiviaHealth

    The recent Change Healthcare cyberattack and other system outages expose a critical weakness in our healthcare system: over-reliance on traditional revenue streams. It's time we rethink how healthcare handles payments. Some key ideas on updating healthcare payments: 1. Diversify: Practices need multiple income sources to weather industry disruptions. 2. Meet patient preferences: 75% want online payments, but 71% of providers still use paper. This gap needs closing. 3. Boost cash flow: Offering easy, flexible payment options can significantly improve collection rates. 4. Communicate clearly: Open, kind discussions about costs build trust and improve patient-provider relationships. 5. Think long-term: A smart patient payment strategy leads to a healthier financial future for the entire healthcare ecosystem. As healthcare leaders, we must ask: How can we create payment systems that work for both providers and patients in today's digital world? The future of healthcare finance isn't just about new tech—it's about building a more resilient, patient-focused system. What steps is your organization taking to adapt? #HealthcareInnovation #PatientPayments #FinancialResilience https://lnkd.in/ds3PuU6V

    Small claims, big impact: How <$10 balances added up to $5,000 in collections At Rivia Health, we're always excited to hear how our solutions make a real difference. Rebecca Shufeldt, founder of Ignite Healthcare Solutions, recently shared a success story that perfectly illustrates our impact: "We've loved partnering with Rivia Health. We've got a few clients that are working with them, and some of the things that they're doing are amazing, helping with reducing patient AR," Rebecca explains. She highlighted a recent win with TrustCare Health : "We help[ed] identify a population where patients have balances under $10 and we implemented a solution with Rivia to help collect that. In the first few weeks, they were able to collect $5,000 in patient AR." That's $5,000 that might have been written off as uncollectible! We're thrilled to continue partnering with consultants like Ignite Healthcare Solutions to help athenahealth clients optimize their revenue cycle. Curious about how we can help your organization turn small balances into significant gains? Head to www.riviahealth.com to learn more! #HealthcareFinance #RevenueManagement #PatientAR #HealthTech #TestimonialThursday

    Did you know that healthcare providers are now collecting less than half of what patients owe? A recent analysis by Kodiak Solutions paints a shocking picture of the growing challenges in patient collections: •Patient collection rates plummeted from 54.8% in 2021 to 47.8% in 2022-2023 •Out of $1.1 billion owed by patients in 2022-2023, providers collected less than half •$500 appears to be the magic number - patients are far less likely to pay bills exceeding this amount •Surprisingly, 53% of bad debt write-offs in 2023 came from insured patients These eye-opening statistics underscore the critical need for effective patient financial engagement strategies. As patient financial responsibility continues to climb, healthcare providers must find innovative ways to maintain financial stability without compromising patient satisfaction. At Rivia Health, we're tackling these challenges head-on. Our platform is designed to make the billing process more transparent and manageable for patients, potentially boosting collection rates and minimizing bad debt. How is your organization adapting to these collection challenges? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

    Fascinating insights from Forbes on healthcare's financial transformation! 💡 The article highlights a growing trend: flexible payment options are reshaping patient access to care. Key takeaways: • 1 in 5 Americans now use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options • Medical bills are the 3rd main contributor to credit card debt • 47% of consumers said they'd be less likely to delay treatment if BNPL was offered • Yet 51% say their providers don't offer flexible payment options This shift isn't just about finances - it's about health outcomes. Delayed care can lead to more severe health issues and strain on healthcare systems. Small to medium-sized healthcare businesses are well-positioned to implement these solutions, potentially reducing no-shows, improving patient satisfaction, and boosting financial health. At Rivia Health, we're proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, offering seamless solutions that align with these emerging patient needs and industry trends.
