Sightview Launches Sightview Pay powered by Global Payments

Eye care-specific patient payment solution modernizes user experiences and speeds revenue recognition.

Sightview, the only electronic health record and practice management partner focused solely on eye care, today announces Sightview Pay, a patient payment solution powered by Global Payments. The new solution makes digital and credit card payments more accessible for patients and streamlines billing processes for eye care practices, reducing manual data entry and enabling faster revenue recognition.

Seventy-seven percent of patients prefer instant healthcare payment, but without an integrated credit card or payment processing system, accepting digital payments can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Sightview Pay supplies eye care providers with an integrated solution that:

• Eliminates paper statements by providing time-of-service payment and text- and email-to-pay options for patients.
• Allows patients to easily pay an estimated balance before their appointment or at the time of their visit.
• Reduces workload associated with manual card and payment information entry by practice staff.
• Introduces new terminals and workflows to further modernize and streamline patient and staff experiences.

“Margins are shrinking across optometry and ophthalmology practices, and patients are simultaneously frustrated and confused by outdated billing methods like paper bills,” said Tycene Fritcher, CEO of Sightview. “Sightview Pay addresses both needs, allowing patients to simply swipe a card on their way out the door, or even pay an estimated amount before setting foot in the office. Providers minimize manual payment tasks and realize revenue sooner, easing financial strain.”

Sightview Pay is the first of several planned product launches and upgrades under the organization’s new leadership and vision. Available to both new and existing clients, partners currently using Sightview’s integrated payment solution can transition to Sightview Pay to uncover stronger integrations and workflows, as well as updated terminals and user experiences.
