LYNCHBURG, VA, February 19, 2014 (Press-News.org) Benchmark Systems, a leading Internet based provider of fully integrated medical practice management solutions, announced today that it has partnered with PatientPay to offer electronic statements and online bill pay through their patient portal.

The electronic statement feature eliminates the costly and complicated paper-based billing method used by the overwhelming majority of healthcare providers.

Since PatientPay reduces the time to payment in half, practices utilizing Benchmark Practice Management will realize improved cash flow and reduced accounts receivables.

Most patients today utilize the internet and a significant percentage of all of our practices patients will use this feature, lowering costs for our providers. Our job is to offer technology that lowers cost, simplifies workflows, and increases cash flow for our providers. This is another example of Benchmarks focus in these areas."
