Patient engagement platform Luma Health launched a new payment service June 6.
The service, called LumaPay, allows patients to pay their bills through text messages, according to a June 6 news release from Luma Health.
LumaPay automatically requests copays from patients with upcoming appointments via text message, and then collects the copay via text message links that integrate with the provider's payment system, according to the news release. At launch, LumaPay supports healthcare payment and revenue cycle management systems from eClinicalWorks and NextGen. Luma Health plans to include additional EHRs in the next phase of its rollout.
The San Francisco-based company serves more than 600 health systems, integrated delivery networks, federally qualified health centers, specialty networks and clinics across the U.S., according to the news release.
