Help your facility collect payments prior to a procedure
Provide your patients with
accurate financial estimates – no more surprises.
Without a clear way to get accurate visibility into expected costs, patients face the daunting challenge of having to navigate unknown procedure costs.
Meanwhile, providers risk revenue losses and lower patient satisfaction due to unanticipated billing disputes and a lack of clear communication.
With HST Clariti, get 98% accurate estimates, reduce payor denials, and improve your office’s efficiency.
Faster Payments
30% of patients contacted via text or email will typically pay electronically. By sending patients a clear snapshot of anticipated costs before their appointment you can easily get paid faster and drive pre-payments. This proactive communication reduces poor AR, accelerates cash flow, and minimizes the uncertainty of unpaid bills.
Reduce Payor Denials
By checking eligibility, easily confirm a patient’s insurance status and coverage details. This ensures that services provided align with the patient’s insurance coverage, drastically reducing denials due to eligibility issues.
Meet State Compliance
Requirements
39 states have fair billing laws in place. These laws require the disclosure of prices for services aiming to allow patients to compare prices, avoid surprise billing, and encourage competition based on cost and quality.
Save Time
Get a 50% typical improvement in office efficiency and give your staff more time back to deliver better patient care. Gone are the days of manually calculating estimates based on various rates and insurance contracts. Automatically factor in the patient’s insurance benefits to produce an accurate estimate in minutes.
Comply with the Federal No Surprises Act
100% compliance with the Federal No Surprises Act requirements. While it may seem like the No Surprises Act is only in support of patients, these new regulations will have undeniable benefits for surgery centers that embrace them.
Boost Patient Satisfaction
By providing patients with an accurate estimate of their responsibility, they can budget in advance. This financial
preparedness can reduce stress and anxiety related to the potential economic burden of procedure costs.

Discover Why ASCs Love HST
“I personally like having everything together within HST because I just feel like it’s one system.”
Shawna Alfano, Administrator & Director of Nursing, BASS Surgery Center
“This takes a lot of the guesswork out for us. It’s a whole lot better than having somebody on the phone calling patients asking for money when they’re insisting, they’ve already paid for everything because they’ve paid the surgeon and they’ve paid the facility.”
Houston Landry, COO, Allied Anesthesia AssociatesCenter

View your cases all in one view and automate insurance checking with four clearinghouses to ensure the patient is likely covered at the time of the procedure. Benefits are also refreshed up to the date of service.ASC.
