“Our focus is to simplify bill payments everywhere to better serve consumers anywhere,” said Dushyant Sharma. “Healthcare billing is a historic pain point for patients and healthcare providers alike. Working with Altera, we will offer the modern, convenient Paymentus customer billing experience to healthcare providers and patients as a component of their healthcare IT platforms, driving higher patient satisfaction and more efficient, secure back-office operations.”

Healthcare bills are the single largest source of personal debt in the United States, outweighing all other debt combined1 and 50% of healthcare providers say they are challenged by large patient balances2. The payment disconnect between providers and patients is a significant part of the problem. According to JP Morgan Chase, 71% of healthcare providers rely on manual or paper-based systems for payments and collections, while 75% of their customers are eager to make online payments2.
