Waystar, a company with a patient NPS score of 57, announced new features including automated claim coverage detection, better explanation of benefits and the delivery of estimates directly into the PatientWallet.

In addition, Waystar has chosen to invest more in its machine-learning (ML) claims follow-ups. This enables the platform to predict and guide follow-up actions for providers based on revenue impact.

Waystar’s CEO Matt Hawkins commented on the platform upgrades.

“We are at a watershed moment in healthcare, where modern technology can drastically improve results for providers and their patients”, Hawkins said. “By unifying payments under a single cloud-based platform and harnessing the power of our purpose-built automation and analytics, we are removing friction from the system and helping providers focus on delivering care. I am energized by our team’s work to continually innovate and deliver on that mission.”

The cloud payments market

The move comes at a time when markets are experiencing a tech boom marked by growing reliance on accessibility and sophistication.

In the fintech sector, businesses are increasingly going for cloud payments technology, as it proves to be a cost-cutting and secure way of transferring money.
