NextGen Healthcare Expands Relationship with InstaMed to Simplify Payment Processing for Patients and Providers

NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed Provides More Choices for Patients, Better Process for Practices

NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today announced that it has expanded its long-term relationship with InstaMed, a J.P. Morgan company, in a deal that modernizes payment processing through NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed. This solution expands payment options and convenience for patients, who can pay online when visiting providers that utilize the NextGen® Practice Management solution. The platform also enables healthcare practices to automate collections and manage and view payments all in one system. The payment solution is not only convenient but secure, utilizing best-in-class data encryption protections.

“With NextGen Pay powered by InstaMed, we’re taking the friction out of the patient-provider payment experience,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, chief growth and strategy officer for NextGen Healthcare. “Patients want a simple and streamlined process for paying their medical bills; providers want to focus on delivering the best care possible without being mired in collection inefficiencies. Our integrated solution delivers on both needs.”

InstaMed is an industry leader in collecting healthcare payments throughout the patient journey. A recent trends report published by InstaMed highlights the importance of payment convenience to patients. According to the survey, 83% of patients want to continue using virtual and self-service options for care post-pandemic. Another 74% prefer online payment for medical bills. Additionally, 74% of millennials would switch providers for a better healthcare payment experience.

“The expansion of our work with NextGen Healthcare is the evolution of our longstanding relationship rooted in delivering better healthcare payment experiences for both providers and patients,” said Jon Neal, head of business development at InstaMed and managing director at J.P.Morgan. “The demand and need for digital, automated and simple payment processes have never been higher. We are excited to see our solution drive real change for providers and patients.”

Several NextGen Healthcare clients are already benefiting from NextGen Pay powered by InstaMed, which allows patients the convenience of saving credit card information within the online portal for quick payments on the go. With the expanded relationship, patients will also have the option to use Apple Pay® mobile payment solutions or Google Pay™ payment services at in-person care visits.

“Now, our practice is a one-stop shop for patient collections,” said Matthew Pierre, chief executive officer of Loden Vision Centers, a NextGen Healthcare client based in Nashville. “The billing department can manage, view and collect payments all in one place. NextGen Pay powered by InstaMed improves the entire payment process, start to finish.”
