PYMTS: Digital, Flexible Payment Plans Key to Expanded Behavioral Healthcare Access
A recent PYMTS survey found that three in five patients who interacted with a behavioral health practitioner in the last year did so digitally — a share that significantly outpaces the shares of patients digitally accessing any other type of health care. Financing remains a vital issue for some patients, especially those who are uninsured. Flexible payment options can make telehealth treatments and behavioral health more affordable and accessible for patients. Increased transparency on the cost of care and the use of digital innovations can help patients connect with specialists and get the treatments they need.
