5 Easy Marketing Tips to Boost Patient Satisfaction
5 Easy Marketing Tips to Boost Patient Satisfaction
As a healthcare provider, you know that managing the day-to-day operations of your office can be overwhelming. You and your staff manage patient visits, insurance companies, paperwork, payroll, billing and more. At the heart of everything, patient satisfaction is the key to the success of your practice. From the front desk greeting to the exam room to check-out, every step of their experience matters.
So often, though, providers forget about the patient payment experience during and after visits. How are you communicating billing and payments with your patients both in the office and after their visit? Especially as more and more providers switch to a digital-first payment experience, meeting patient needs goes a long way with patient satisfaction and long-term loyalty.
We’ve compiled our top 5 marketing tips to help your patients better understand how to pay their bills. Especially if you’re launching a new way to pay bills, patients need clear and helpful information.
Top 5 Marketing Tips
- Train Staff for a Successful Launch
When your staff has a strong understanding and buy-in of your payment platform, they can better communicate with patients. Ensure they have been trained to use the platform and know the benefits to both provider and patient. Some ideas include:
- Provide a script for engaging with patients.
- Offer an FAQ document to ensure they feel confident answering questions.
- Promote the Platform on Your Website
When patients receive a text or paper statement, they may visit your website to make their payment. Be sure that a link to “Pay Your Bill” or “Make a Payment” is available at the top of your website. This should lead directly to the payment platform, not to a separate page on your website.
- Add Payment Platform Information on Your Paper Statements
Make it easy for your patients to pay their bills online by adding the payment link and a QR code to paper statements.
- Post In-Office Signage
Hang professional and clear signs in high-traffic areas of your office with information about your payment platform. This is one way to help your patients understand how to pay their bills. The office flyer should include:
- A clear headline
- Sample image of the platform
- Bullet points of the benefits of the platform
- Contact information
Get your patients excited about your new digital-first option!
- Create Educational Content
Patients will have ongoing questions about your payment platform and their bills. Ensure that you offer video content, blogs, texts, and emails to your patients with any updates or educational information.
