U. S. Merchant Systems was founded in June of 1992 in San Jose, California. From the beginning, our mission has been to offer the very best transaction products and services to our customers.

Today, U.S. Merchant Systems stands among the leaders in the transaction processing industry, representing multiple processors and providing all types of merchants with a variety of services and products.

From our experience working with hundreds of healthcare providers, we understand the unique needs of these providers. To best address these needs we have formed the USMS HealthTranz Division to concentrate on this market. With the HealthTranz Total Payment Solution, USMS has brought a new level of service to healthcare providers previously unavailable.

In today’s world it is no longer the case where you provide treatment, the patient hands you cash or a check and you see them in six months. You must be able to efficiently handle a variety of payment options in order to maximize your revenues and profitability. You must continually look for ways to keep your rooms filled and your costs low. How do we accomplish this?

HealthTranz Payment Solutions starts with your appointment book. Before a patient arrives it is important to check on their insurance benefits and eligibility. Instead of tying up your front office personnel’s time with numerous phone calls, being put on hold, etc. HealthTranz PS provides you the capability to check that eligibility on-line. You can even submit your full day of appointments at once and let the system do the work. Your front office worker is now freed up to do more important work within the office.

Once you have this eligibility information you can go ahead and treat the patient with the understanding of what the insurance situation is. With this information you can develop a financial plan for the patient. The key to this process is to know before the patient leaves the practice exactly how the bill is going to be paid. The goal is to completely eliminate sending out costly statements and chasing patients for payment.

Before HealthTranz Payment Solutions, for healthcare providers to be able to offer these services practices were forced to work with numerous vendors and even then would not be able to have all the capabilities of HealthTranz PS. Numerous vendors mean numerous different support personnel and this leads to increased costs. Our goal is to provide the best financial services available through one interface with one phone number to call for support.
