FinPay
Pre-care patient financial engagement and payment plans
- Founded
- 2015
- HQ
- King of Prussia, PA
- Stage
- Growth stage
- Raised
- $28M+
What it does
- Pre-care patient financial clearance and education
- Automated verification of benefits and responsibility estimates
- Compliant payment plans and digital payments
- FinPass digital experience from admission through discharge
- Managed patient engagement teams as a service
- Post-discharge balance follow-up
Where it's strong
- Pre-care engagement model collects money at the point of highest patient willingness, before treatment starts.
- Deep behavioral health and SUD specialization, a segment most payment vendors ignore.
- Offers managed services, so providers without billing staff can still run the model.
What buyers should weigh
- The model requires changing admissions workflows, which takes operational buy-in, not just software install.
- Concentration in behavioral health means fewer references in acute or ambulatory settings.
- No major funding or expansion announcements since the 2022 growth round.

Paytient
Health payment accounts to pay medical bills over time
- Founded
- 2018
- HQ
- Columbia, MO
- Stage
- Series B
- Raised
- $63M+ ($55.5M equity plus debt financing)
What it does
- Health Payment Account card usable at point of care
- Interest-free repayment plans members set themselves
- No fees or credit checks for members
- Covers medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, and vet expenses
- Sponsor dashboard and utilization reporting
Where it's strong
- Members get a way to afford care without interest-bearing debt, which supports plan designs with higher deductibles.
- Sponsor-paid model means employees pay nothing to use it, driving adoption.
- Proven with large sponsors: 700 enterprise partners including Centene and Cigna.
What buyers should weigh
- The sponsor pays the fees, so ROI depends on measurable gains in care access, retention, or plan migration.
- It smooths bills rather than lowering them; it does not address underlying prices or billing errors.
- Value is limited for populations with low deductibles or minimal out-of-pocket exposure.
