Intuit Launches Bill Payment System

HDM Breaking News, September 24, 2009

Intuit Inc. has introduced an online bill payment system that provider organizations can purchase and offer to their patients.

The Quicken Health Bill Pay application nightly copies patient data from a billing system. The data is used to generate a patient's bill, with simple terms used to explain services performed and how the amount due is calculated after insurance payments are posted, according to the Mountain View, Calif.-based vendor.

Once the insurance payment posts, the patient receives an e-mail message and can log into the Quicken Health Bill Pay Web site to view the bill. The patient can electronically pay the bill via a debit, credit, health savings account or flexible spending account card. The provider receives an e-mail message when a payment is made. The payment is electronically deposited into the provider's bank account and can be manually or automatically posted to the billing system.
