Datatel Communications Inc., a leader in IVR Payments / Pay-By-Phone, today announced a collaboration with Sphere, powered by TrustCommerce. Together they will be formulating solutions designed to help healthcare providers rapidly and cost effectively deploy Pay-By-Phone solutions as a means of responding effectively to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 has dramatically impacted healthcare provider’s ability to respond to its patient phone inquiries, handle payment calls and maintain PCI compliance and data security. An increasing number of healthcare providers’ employees are working from home, potentially seriously compromising patient service and payment security, due to the on-the-fly re-architecture of business and security processes that today’s rapidly changing developments. DatatelPay-By-Phone xPress-RELIEF, integrated to the Sphere technology platform, provides healthcare providers with a wide array of IVR Payments options. These include 24/7 patient self-service phone payments and agent assisted for those healthcare providers that still require the involvement of an agent/staff member in the patient engagement process.
Among the many advantages are:
- Patients can securely make payments by phone 24/7
- Works with staff that are being re-deployed to work from home
- Seamlessly integrated to the Sphere Payment Platform
- Complies with industry security standards (PCI and HIPAA)
- Handles many concurrent calls without ever missing a payment
- And many more
Transactions flow seamlessly through the Sphere’s technology platform for secure processing.
