AblePay Health is saving Patients Time and Money


The Ephraim McDowell Health System has been providing the highest level of care to patients in central Kentucky for over 130 years.

While the clinical care and treatment of those in our community is paramount, we know our patients’ financial wellness is also extremely important. With this in mind, we are happy to introduce AblePay Health to all our patients.

How AblePay benefits our patients

AblePay is a NO-COST program that allows you to save up to 13% on your out-of-pocket medical expenses (deductibles and coinsurance) while assisting if you ever have questions regarding your bill.

AblePay is assisting medical providers in reducing their expenses related to patient payments. Having AblePay process these patient claims means lower costs and quicker reimbursement for the health system.

AblePay works with any health insurance, including Medicare, so almost everyone is eligible to participate. You can also include anyone on your account you are willing to be financially responsible for, even if they have a different insurance plan!

credit-card
Keep Your AblePay Card

Once enrolled, keep your AblePay card with your insurance information. Show your AblePay card the next time you visit a medical provider. While we are not an insurance carrier, the provider should enter AblePay as your secondary payor for the purpose of processing your claim.

The provider will bill AblePay

After your service is complete and your primary insurance company processes your claim, the provider will bill AblePay. Your insurance carrier will still provide your Explanation of Benefits (EOB).

Email Notification

AblePay will send an email notifying you that your bill was received and to visit your member portal. Once notified, you will have five (5) days to decide if you would like to change your default payment term or the payment method. If no changes are made, we will use the payment term and method chosen during enrollment.

Show your card

We encourage members to show their AblePay card at all provider visits as we will attempt to negotiate savings, regardless of their contractual agreement with AblePay. Providers currently accepting AblePay can be found HERE.

AblePay Health saves you time and money!



Savings

As an AblePay member, depending on how you wish to pay, you can save up to 13% on your out-of-pocket expenses. The best part, even though you save money, the entire amount of the bill is satisfied at the provider and gets applied to your deductible.

EXAMPLE: $1,000 bill that is your responsibility to pay. Using a term of one payment and an ACH method. We would pull $870 from your authorized payment method. $1,000 is satisfied at your provider; $1,000 goes towards your deductible. You just saved $130. That’s how easy it is!

Flexibility

We understand that your financial needs may change and that they may change rapidly.

AblePay members have the ability to decide which payment term (1, 3, 6, or 12) or payment method (ACH or Card) meets their current financial needs on every bill we process.

1 Payment 13% Bank ACH, 10% Card

3 Payments 10% Bank ACH, 7% Card

6 Payments 8% Bank ACH, 5% Card

12 Payments 0% Bank ACH, 0% Card

Convenience

All of your bills are stored electronically in your member portal and are conveniently processed using the payment method(s) you’ve added to your account.

A payment type with an account and routing numbers, such as Checking or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), get entered as “ACH.”

Anything that’s card-driven; Credit, Debit, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), will be entered as “Card.”

*AblePay does not maintain your financial information. When payment methods are entered during enrollment, the information is sent to a PCI Level 1 financial processing company.

Advocacy

We know that many people have questions and need help understanding their medical bills.

Our team will explain your bill or reach out to the Medical Providers billing department on your behalf if there is an issue to resolve.

Our team is here to support our members when they have a question or issue with a bill, expediting the process of getting you answers.
