"Waystar combines best-in-class predictive analytics and machine learning to deliver compelling benefits such as accelerated reimbursement, reduced collection costs, and financial visibility to more than 450,000 providers," said Koustav Chatterjee, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Its modern, cloud-based architecture facilitates deployments in multiple care settings as well as integration across IT platforms."
Waystar's proprietary rules engine quickly and accurately employs diagnosis codes to address industry pain points such as patient eligibility determination and unwieldy claims management. For example, it allows providers to identify and confirm patients' insurance coverage before or during the time of service or to generate a real-time estimate of financial obligation. Other best practices include integrating its product directly into existing platforms; translating complex payer messages into easy-to-understand English; presenting an intuitive, user-friendly interface; utilizing algorithm-driven claims monitoring; and enabling a high degree of automation informed by real-time data.
Furthermore, Waystar consistently captures social determinants of health to identify patient risk before appointments, helping providers improve health outcomes while optimizing financial performance. Its advanced machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics automatically identify patients' willingness and ability to pay, helping clients recover lost revenue while saving time and resources.
"Waystar's embedded solutions are readily scalable for even the largest enterprises. In addition to product development, it employs a strong acquisition strategy to expand its capabilities. In 2018, it acquired Connance, a predictive analytics-based revenue cycle platform, and Ovation Revenue Cycle Services, a transaction services firm that offers automatic claims monitoring," noted Chatterjee. "Overall, its proven expertise in error-free claims preparation, automated billing workflows, and robust RCM analytics help providers benefit from a powerful financial ecosystem."
"Frost & Sullivan is one of the world's best analyst firms for healthcare technology, and we are grateful to receive this award," said Matt Hawkins, CEO of Waystar.
