Healthcare Revenue Deductible Reset Webinar

Every year, deductibles reset and patient responsibility jumps to 100%. Many practices face months of unpredictable cash flow. Add ACA volatility and shifting payer rules, and it feels like revenue is out of your hands.

Learn why it’s not in this 1-hour webinar. Hear PatientPay’s Pete Heydt and Azalea Health’s Douglas Swords share that you can control how and when patients pay. And how modern, patient-friendly payment workflows can stabilize cash flow, reduce friction, and improve the financial experience for you, your staff, and your patients.

What’s Included

  • How traditional billing practices create friction in deductible season and slow down collections
  • The controllable actions you can use to drive results and cash-flow resilience
  • What happens when you modernize payment workflows — especially for less tech-savvy patients
  • How leading practices capture payments in minutes instead of waiting up to 60 days
  • A live look at the integrated PatientPay + Azalea workflow, including the patient experience and payment turnaround times

Who Should Watch

This webinar is for leaders at health clinics, rural health clinics, and rural hospitals, including:

  • Practice administrators and office managers
  • Billing and revenue cycle leaders
  • Physicians and practice owners
