As financial responsibility shifts toward patients, traditional high-pressure payment requests are creating friction, stress, and missed revenue opportunities. The conversation explores how self-serve technology is transforming this experience. By offering flexible options like payment plans, financing, and AutoPay at checkout, practices can meet patients when they’re most ready to take action—without uncomfortable pressure or follow-ups.
