The newly acquired capital will fuel Paytient’s efforts to expand its reach into larger, employer-sponsored plans, as well as alternative health plans, the ACA marketplace, and Medicare. With a growing trend of plan-embedded out-of-pocket affordability benefits becoming standard, Paytient is positioned at the forefront of this innovation.
