What is Paytient?
Bethany: "I think the simplest way to put it is that Paytient gives people the peace of mind to actually use the care they’re entitled to. It’s not insurance — it’s the bridge that gets them to the doctor without hesitation."
Iveta: "Exactly. It makes every other part of your benefit strategy work better because it removes the financial friction from the moment of care."
Paytient makes it easier for people to pay for, save on, and ultimately access healthcare when they need it.
We provide employees with additional healthcare purchasing power to pay for out-of-pocket healthcare costs — medical, dental, vision, even vet bills. They pay it back over time through simple payroll deductions with no interest or fees — ever.
The payment schedule is fully customizable with each transaction.







Healthcare Purchasing Power + Cost-Smoothing
The "Toothache" Philosophy of Financial Wellness
Iveta: “There’s a Tibetan Buddhist concept I love: the greatest feeling in the world is not having a toothache. You don’t notice it when it’s gone; you just feel 'normal.' That’s what cost-smoothing does. It enables a $1,000 emergency bill to be paid in ten $100 payments. It makes the crisis feel like a non-event."
The purchasing power pays the bill, the employee pays it back over time — for less financial stress and better cash flow.


A Real-Life Story
What happens when life hits?
Bethany: “My husband was building a cabin and there was an accident — an explosion.
He ended up in the ICU with 2nd and 3rd-degree burns. At that moment, as an HR leader, I knew exactly what our deductible was. I knew the bill was going to be thousands. But because of Paytient, I didn't spend one second worrying about the bill. I spent every second being there for him instead.
That’s the gift we give our employees: the ability to be present for their families, instead of worrying about their finances.”
Paytient is more than just a card or an app. We’re changing how healthcare happens, and building a Better Care Economy.
Why Your Team Needs Paytient
Iveta: “In addition to the importance of helping people get the healthcare they need when they need it, our company is saving money everyday because of it — we’re curbing high-cost claims and lowering prescription costs.”
"...and if you want employees to transition to HDHPs as a cost-saving measure, you must give them a tool to manage that deductible. When they aren't worried about upfront out-of-pocket costs, you unlock the real ROI — which is driven by plan migration, talent retention, and long-term cost savings.”
When you reduce costs for both the company and its people, everyone wins — living healthier, happier lives because of it.

The "HR to HR" FAQ
Get answers to common (but key) questions about Paytient.
Who is this for?
Iveta: "It’s for everyone. But especially for people with more medical needs. It is a moral imperative. It changes their life."
When can I buy Paytient? And when can I roll it out?
Bethany: "Don't wait for Open Enrollment. Everyone is overwhelmed then. Launch it in the 'quiet' months as a surprise gift of wellness. It creates a massive moment of delight."
How much work is it every pay period?
Bethany: "I know what you're thinking because I thought it too: 'How much work is this for my team?' Honestly? It takes 45 seconds to process the deductions. It’s the lowest-lift, highest-impact benefit I’ve ever rolled out."
Does Paytient replace an HSA?
Iveta: "Nope. It’s the HSA’s best friend. Let your HSA grow and invest. Use Paytient for the 'now' and pay it back with 0% interest."
