Healthcare Practitioner and Patient Work Together

The office being visited by the patient is able to do a very quick search of the database to determine if any outstanding amount exists. If it does, the office staff can provide the patient with information on how to access their private account in the Patient Portal. The office staff has no access to the amount due nor the Healthcare Practitioner to whom the amount is due.

When the patient logs into their private account, they can see the amount due, to whom they owe the amount, dispute the amount or make a payment directly to the Healthcare Practitioner. Only the patient can see this information. The office staff have no access to the patient information.

PPN provides a secure service that allows immediate sharing of late or missed payments in order to aid and facilitate the patient's efforts to pay what is due, to improve the financial situation of Healthcare Practitioners and to reduce the rising cost of providing health care services.

This is done by a network of Healthcare Practitioners that enter unpaid balances that are more than 90 days old. No one but authorized users has access to the database. If a patient search discovers an open balance, the patient is encouraged to make a payment directly to the Healthcare Practitioner. The person doing the search will not see any personal information other that the fact that some amount is due. The patient may access their private portal using any internet device to make a payment directly to the Healthcare Practitioner. Neither the searching office not PrioNet will be involved in the payment process.
