The short version

What each one is

Patient payment processing

PatientPay

PatientPay is a modern patient-payment platform (its own term) with multi-channel billing, automated reminders, payment plans, and call-center support.

AI patient billing

Reclaimly

AI patient billing is software that uses AI agents to manage every patient balance from visit to payment — explaining charges, answering questions, following up by text, email, and phone, and taking the calls your team used to field — so providers collect more of what patients owe, with a person stepping in only for the cases that need one.

Where Reclaimly wins

Execution and transparency — without the trade-off

Most options make you choose: do the work but lose visibility, or stay in control but do it all yourself. Reclaimly does the work autonomously and stays fully visible — and it's live in under two weeks.

Reclaimly

Reclaimly lands where most options can't — high execution and full transparency at once.

  • Execution, not just messages

    An autonomous AI agent does the work — understands each balance and follows through. Not another portal, not a fixed sequence.

  • Full transparency

    Every balance and interaction is visible in real time. You set the rules and keep the patient relationship — never opaque.

  • Live in under two weeks

    Connects to the EHR you already use and our team runs the setup — no new system for staff to learn.

Being fair

When PatientPay makes sense

PatientPay makes sense if your follow-up already works and you mainly need a better way to present bills and process payments. If the gap is getting patients to engage and resolve balances in the first place, that is where Reclaimly does the work.

What PatientPay is good at

  • A smooth digital payment and processing experience
  • Clear statements and flexible payment options
  • Reduces friction at the moment of payment
  • An established patient payments footprint

When you want that work done autonomously — with full visibility, and live in under two weeks — that's where Reclaimly comes in.
