# Streamlined Healthcare Provider Tools Helcim and PatientSERV Have Formed a Partnership By Kalin Ned | Published 2024-11-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthcare-provider-tool References: [newswire](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/helcim-and-patientserv-partner-to-simplify-out-of-pocket-payment-management-for-healthcare-providers-804371479.html)  Helcim and PatientSERV jointly released a new healthcare provider tool that aims to streamline payment processes for this demographic. This innovation will be especially useful especially for services not covered by public insurance in Canada. By integrating Helcim’s Smart Terminal API with PatientSERV’s platform, this collaboration offers a straightforward way for clinics to handle out-of-pocket payments. The technology enables both in-person and remote payment options, and in doing so, it reduces administrative strain for clinics while improving patient convenience. PatientSERV’s established system in uninsured service management allows clinics to collect payments, while Helcim’s technology facilitates secure and user-friendly transactions efficiently. The partnership, endorsed by the Ontario Medical Association, provides financial and operational benefits that may help healthcare providers boost their annual revenue by simplifying revenue collection.
