WellSky® Launches New Solution to Modernize Patient Payments and Streamline Payment Reconciliation
WellSky Pay solution is now available to help infusion, specialty pharmacy, and post-acute care organizations get paid faster and reduce the need for manual payment posting
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – August 11, 2026 – WellSky, a leading health and community care technology and services company, today announced the availability of WellSky Pay, enabled by PayGround, a digital-first patient payment solution now available for WellSky CareTend and WellSky Specialty Care solutions. The WellSky Pay solution is designed to help healthcare organizations simplify patient payment collection, reduce manual payment posting, and streamline reconciliation within existing WellSky workflows.
As patients become responsible for a larger share of healthcare costs, healthcare organizations are collecting more payments directly from patients while still relying on manual, paper-based payment processes. Using reporting dashboards, payment plan capabilities, point-of-care processing, and integrated reconciliation within WellSky solutions, financial teams can reduce paper statements and manual posting, giving teams clearer visibility into their revenue cycle operations.
“Healthcare organizations need payment experiences that are easier for patients and more efficient for staff,” said Bill Miller, chairman and CEO of WellSky. “With the WellSky Pay solution, we’re giving our clients a practical way to digitize patient payments, reduce administrative burden, and simplify the path from payment collection to reconciliation within the systems their teams already use.”
Providers using this digital-first patient payment platform with streamlined payment reconciliation have experienced improved patient payment and revenue cycle performance, including: a 65% repayment rate vs. 45% industry benchmark, a 9.4 day average reduction in A/R cycle, and a 23% increase in collections within the first 90 days.
