Administrative and patient technology provider Clearwave Corporation and payment technology provider Secure Bill have teamed up to add EMV/chip and PIN technology to Clearwave's Healthcare Self-Service Kiosks, according to a Clearwave announcement.

The payment security system is designed to improve the timeliness of payments from patients and insurers.

"We believe integrating our payment capabilities within Clearwave's patient registration self-service kiosk will enable healthcare providers to automate critical processes while improving demographic data, reducing claim rejections, improving through-put, increasing patient satisfaction and especially maximizing collections." said Dawn Lunde, VP of sales at Secure Bill Pay, in a press release. "We were surprised by the very high adoption rate of the Clearwave kiosks – ranging from 88% to 99% of all patient visits!"

EMV technology enables an embedded microprocessor chip to uniquely encrypt each transaction.
