PayZens embedded, AI-powered patient financing solutions drive a significant revenue lift for healthcare providers while improving patient affordability and satisfaction. Our platform automatically engages patients who need flexible payment options and offers them interest-free payment plans for up to 60 months tailored to their unique ability to pay. At the same time, we can pre-fund providers without recourse, eliminating bad debt and bringing A/R days to zero. Providers get a much higher patient payment rate and accelerated cash. Patients get affordable access to care and an intuitive payment experience. While we got our start in patient financing, PayZens vision is broader than breaking large balances into monthly payments. We are building an integrated, data-driven platform that automates manual processes to holistically address the affordability needs of patients, resulting in an overall increase in revenue for providers.
