The Beneficiary Provider will receive their patient payment and/or make arrangements with the patient outside of the PPN company; independently. Once this is achieved the portal system will immediately remove the patient from the system. PPN has the ability, through a Charity Fund, to pay for a patient balance from a donor Beneficiary Provider/Clinic without tedious paperwork when the patient is in need. |
Secure Network 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 health care providers and to reduce the rising cost of providing health care services. This is done by a network of health care providers 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 Beneficiary Provider. 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 beneficiary provider. Neither the searching office not PrioNet will be involved in the payment process. |
Provider 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 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 provider 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 provider. Only the patient can see this information. The office staff have no access to the patient information. |
Simple Easy Process The patient visits the PPN Patient Portal and can see how much is owed and to whom. The patient then can contact the Beneficiary Provider to arrange payment, or they can dispute the balance owed. When the patient makes the payment to the Beneficiary Provider, the Beneficiary Provider marks the record as paid and the amount owed is removed from the system. PPN does not decide as to whether a medical provider will see the patient. That determination is made by the medical provider independently from PPN. No patient medical history or contact information is stored in the PPN database. PPN is available to all medical businesses possessing a NPI registered number. |
