TransEngen intros patient kiosks

February 16, 2012

TransEngen, a provider of transaction processing solutions for the health care industry, has expanded its payments footprint to include patient kiosks.

"We are finding ever increasing ways to deploy our payment technology for providers across the healthcare continuum," Gregory Morris, president and CEO of TransEngen, said in a company press release. "In the end, it's all about making patient collections as easy, stress-free and efficient as possible."

Atlanta-based Clearwave Corporation will leverage TransEngen's virtual payment portal to process payments and post patient transaction data in real time back into a provider's practice management system.

"Because patients are now financially responsible for approximately 30 percent of their visit, it is important for providers to be able to quickly and easily improve time of service collections as well as post visit collections," Brian Stone, CFO of Clearwave, said in the release. "TransEngen's ability to work on multiple platforms, including numerous practice management systems and processors, to link payment functionality and transactional data with a provider's practice management system is a huge win for our customers."

In addition, TransEngen is collaborating with Revenue Advantage, a Seattle-based company specializing in IVR, which allows for patient balances to be collected over the phone. Similar to Clearwave, TransEngen's technology will be deployed to process payments over the phone and then post transactional data into the provider's practice management system.

TransEngen also announced the new release of its core product, the Revenue Maximizer, which is used by more than 30,000 health care providers nationwide. This release includes several upgrades including email notification, which automatically allows providers to send emails to patients notifying them of payment status. In addition, other enhancements include upgrades to the patient estimate functionality, expanded navigational features and general system upgrades.
