What
is
it?
A
registration
tool
that
enables
Patient
Access
professionals
to
estimate
the
patient’s
cost
for
clinical
procedures—before
they
occur.
Why
do
I
want
it?

How
does
it
work?
The
Patient
Payment
Estimator
extracts
information
from
a
provider’s
Chargemaster,
calculates
the
contracted
rates
for
the
procedures
in
question,
and
applies
benefits
from
the
patient’s
health
insurance
plan.
The
resulting
estimate
can
be
printed
and
given
to
the
patient
as
part
of
the
financial
consult
prior
to
the
procedure
talking
place.
