We are excited to announce that KLAS Research (KLAS), the world’s leading third-party healthcare IT research organization, recently named us a leading solution provider in their first ever patient financial experience report.
About the KLAS report
In the report, Patient Financial Experience 2020: Driving Additional Revenue by Improving the Financial Experience, KLAS evaluated eight patient financial engagement platforms and financing services, and the platforms were scored based on customer satisfaction areas that clients found most beneficial and on how they improved the patient experience. Cedar is now officially KLAS-rated, and due to overwhelmingly positive customer feedback, we are thrilled to share that we received an overall performance score of 95.5!*
Published during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented financial uncertainty, the report validates one of our core beliefs: that by leveraging technology to improve the patient billing experience, providers can add value for patients that inherently drives revenue. To put it another way, it pays to care.
Cedar’s value to the patient financial experience
According to the report, our clients value our product’s ease of use and flexible payment plans, which explains why in each dimension on which vendors were rated we received an A or A+. Most notably, in the loyalty category, every single customer surveyed said they would buy Cedar again.

“Our technology makes it easy to improve patient financial experiences because fundamentally we understand what’s good for patients is good for providers,” he said. “This recognition is further validation that Cedar customers find demonstrable value in our platform.”
