The Text to Pay integrates Sphere’s payments platform with VisitPay’s patient-centric expertise in a new solution.

The technology utilises a card token to enable the patients without exposing sensitive card or patient information.

Sphere chief revenue officer Anthony Lucatuorto said: “As the payments ecosystem continues to expand and extend to new frontiers, security has to be first and foremost.

“We have deep experience working within EHRs like Epic and are excited to offer this complementary solution that will help our clients by integrating with their existing platform in a secure and compliant way.”

Powered by TrustCommerce, Sphere focuses on providing solutions that integrate payments and software for businesses.

Currently, it supports businesses in the US, Canada and Australia.
