Customer Success Story
NFMMC was one of PDCflow’s first healthcare clients to sign on after the creation of a customer user interface in 2005. Due to their early implementation of PDCflow's digital payment software in early 2007, the hospital has been able to expand and scale their payment services along with their facilities and community reach.
All methods of payment collection – employee entered payments, web and mobile initiated payments and recurring payments – have grown over the last decade.
Any internet connected device can become a virtual terminal with PDCflow Payments. This allows NFMMC to add employee users and departments (with the ability to separate out reporting by location and department as needed utilizing PDCflow's Organizational Hierarchy).
Since 2007, more consumers have moved to digital payments with debit and credit cards and patient payment responsibility has increased significantly. NFMMC was positioned to quickly and easily scale their digital payments with this change, accepting more patient responsibility payments.
The Results
Growth of Digital and self-serve online payments
As a result, their digital payments have grown year-over-year at an average of 15.96%.
NFMMC offered an online payment portal to their patients on their website immediately in 2007 and have seen this payment channel increase as a preferred method of payment each year since. Their self-serve payment growth has averaged 21.73% over the past ten years.
