Member Issue Brief: Improving the Patient Billing Experience: A Strategic Imperative for Hospitals and Health Systems

America’s hospitals and health systems are committed to providing quality and safe care to all individuals, as well as delivering a care experience that meets patients’ needs and expectations, from scheduling through payment.

This issue brief discusses the key challenges with the patient billing experience today, based on national surveys and consumer research, and identifies opportunities for hospitals and health systems to improve the patient billing experience.
