Paytient
Health payment accounts to pay medical bills over time
- Founded
- 2018
- HQ
- Columbia, MO
- Stage
- Series B
- Raised
- $63M+ ($55.5M equity plus debt financing)
What it does
- Health Payment Account card usable at point of care
- Interest-free repayment plans members set themselves
- No fees or credit checks for members
- Covers medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, and vet expenses
- Sponsor dashboard and utilization reporting
Where it's strong
- Members get a way to afford care without interest-bearing debt, which supports plan designs with higher deductibles.
- Sponsor-paid model means employees pay nothing to use it, driving adoption.
- Proven with large sponsors: 700 enterprise partners including Centene and Cigna.
What buyers should weigh
- The sponsor pays the fees, so ROI depends on measurable gains in care access, retention, or plan migration.
- It smooths bills rather than lowering them; it does not address underlying prices or billing errors.
- Value is limited for populations with low deductibles or minimal out-of-pocket exposure.

Where it's strong
- Closed loop from statement to payment to posting, including the patient support calls most tools skip.

- Behavioral analytics aim outreach at when patients actually pay, not fixed statement cycles.
What buyers should weigh
- No named customers, disclosed funding, or founding details in public materials, so diligence falls on references.
- Young AI-agent category; letting Rae speak to patients needs monitoring and clear escalation rules.
