Patient payments, made simple – pre or post procedure

Simple, secure payments collected before or after the procedure. Reduce the risk of patient unpaid debt, communicate clearly with patients, and take the admin and collection stress off you and your practice team.

What it does

Get the gap paid, without the awkward calls

Clear & consistent communication builds trust

Messages include the practice, referring doctor, specialist and payment details, so patients always know why they’re being asked to pay. You and clinic always know the status of each payment – pre or post procedure.

Secure and trusted digital payment options

Medbill uses trusted, secure, encrypted payment processing to protect patient information – paid by BPAY, credit card or direct depoist.

Updates & Receipts sent automatically

Patients receive a receipt automatically as soon as they pay — no manual follow-up needed from your team.

Weekend-friendly & followed up

Automated reminders are scheduled to avoid weekends, with phone follow-up from our team if a payment remains unpaid.
