SwervePay, a cloud-based patient-centric payment platform that empowers patient to pay their medical bills on the go has raised $10 million in funding led by Chicago-based Garland Capital Group. The capital will be used to accelerate its channel partner network and hire additional talent to accelerate growth.
According to Accenture, 98 percent of patients will not use hospital/physician mobile apps and 64% won’t use portals(Harris poll). Through SwervePay’s portal free platform, Physicians and hospitals are able to engage patients with a simple text message that lets them securely submit payments and with one click. The cloud-based system presents the right data at the right time, greatly improving patient payment resolution.

This is achieved by communicating with patients in one of the most effective and accessible ways today – text messaging. In addition to reducing outstanding patient balances, SwervePay lowers debt and administrative costs for hospitals. The end result is increase cash flow to hospitals, health systems and practitioners.
Key Features of the platform include:
Automated messages – send automated appointment reminders to reduce no-shows, balance notifications sent via text or email for one-click payments
