Not Every Balance Resolves the Same Way

The patients who remain later in the dunning cycle are not simply slower to pay. They often face unresolved barriers, such as billing confusion, affordability concerns, coverage questions, or limited digital engagement. When outreach does not account for those barriers, repeating it is unlikely to change the outcome.

Cedar extends Epic with a digital-first, AI-enabled layer that preserves the MyChart experience while personalizing engagement for patients who need more support.

The Difference Is Measurable

Traditional Early Out Leaves Performance on the Table

When every patient gets the same playbook, none get what they need.Most early out programs run the same playbook on every account: a fixed sequence of statements and calls, sorted by a propensity-to-pay score. When the tactics never change, neither do the results.

Epic remains your source of truth and supports the balances that resolve through MyChart native workflows. Cedar extends MyChart with an AI-enabled Early Out experience, focused on less-engaged, harder-to-reach patients whose balances are more likely to stall.One source of truth. One connected patient experience.

SPOTLIGHT

Providence

Committed to improving the patient's financial experience, Providence evaluated Epic's native functionality alongside Cedar to understand how each could best support patients and strengthen financial performance.

What they discovered: only 23% of bills were straightforward. The remaining 77% required a different approach to resolution.

Today, Providence continues to use both: Epic serves as the system of record, while Cedar extends its Early Out strategy with targeted engagement for patients who need more personalized support.

“It’s incumbent on both payers and providers to identify what we can do differently to mitigate that friction that causes patients to interrupt or delay care.”
