Misleading Billing Practices

Pros

I have no positive feedback to share, I dislike it as they misled in their advertising.

Cons

We chose this service based on its advertised integration with another clinical software we use for billing. However, the actual integration has been problematic. Despite using their software for less than two months at a monthly cost under $1000, we were shocked to see an additional charge of $15,000 on our bill. So I would say test thoroughly before transitioning to their software.

Gets the Job Done

Pros

It is a great program that integrates with our complex operating system, facilitating easy claims processing, monitoring and corrections or resubmissions as necessary.

Cons

In general, we are satisfied with Waystar it is cost-effective and integrates well with our billing program Allscripts. The only downside is that not all payors are covered, necessitating a second system for insurance verification or claims submissions at times.
