Previously, patients were limited to paying with credit or debit cards. With ACH, they can pay their co-pay or bill directly from their bank account, and securely collecting payment is even more convenient for providers.

With ACH Direct Debit, healthcare patients experience enhanced transaction security and healthcare providers can benefit from lower transaction costs. By empowering patients to choose an additional preferred method for payment, healthcare providers increase the likelihood of receiving payments on time and can improve the overall patient experience by providing payment options best suited for individual needs. ACH Direct Debit is available for Text to Pay and Online Bill Pay workflows.

“Healthcare patients today expect safe, secure, and convenient options to pay their bills,” said Branden Neish, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Weave. “The addition of ACH Direct Debit to our payment suite enables healthcare practices with another way to offer flexible payment options to patients, reduce transaction costs, increase the likelihood of timely payments by patients, and offer more flexibility to patients to pay how they choose.”

The addition of ACH Direct Debit follows several new payment enhancements in recent months, including a partnership with Affirm, Scan to Pay, and Mobile Tap to Pay.
