Clearinghouse Administrator

Waystar is highly secure with the two-factor authentication, has responsible, mature customer support on all levels providing regular updates, very user friendly for all technology levels even if someone is used to the "old school" way of billing.  

Waystar provides extreme value for our dollars and offers a wide variety of products and applications to meet any type of medical billing need.

Waystar quickly helped us resume operations, restoring our patient statements first and subsequently getting our dental claims live again.  

Surgery Coordinator

It allows me to attach to every visit which is super helpful and if a patient comes in more than once we can see that they are already on a payment plan and it helps a lot.

Clinic Director

Predatory Auto-Renewals: The contract renews for two years at a time, and they do not send proper reminders before you’re locked in again.

owner

They identify in the claim when there is a rejection what the issue is.

No Way to Leave: They refuse to let clinics exit the contract early unless you pay the entire balance upfront—even if you’re not using the service.

Practice Administrator

It's infuriating when they just decide to close a case without even checking to see if the problem has been resolved.

Self Pay Collector

Too many fields to fill out when the system recognizes the account number

Director of Operations

Customer support and collaboration are amazing.

Revenue cycle manager

Easy to make claim edits and claim resubmissions

In January 2025, we received only 60 days’ notice (not the required 90) that our prices would increase.

Patient Service Representative

Sometimes has long loading times and won't refresh automatically.

It really is a customer in mind culture on all levels.

I love how convenient it is to take credit card payments and setup payment plans

Managing Partner

Some times went by and they placed our company in collection.

Adding to the frustration, despite using their software for less than two months at a monthly cost of under $1000, we were astounded to find an additional charge of $15,000 on our bill.

Billing

I like the way that you can check you invoices to see when they were accepted by the payor and that it tells you the reason for the denial, whether it be, wrong ID, name/number, DOB, needs NDC, whatever and you are able to fix in the screen and resend the claim.

what I like most about this software is their ability to manually entering claims daily. While other clearing houses take 48 to 72 hours to process claims, Waystar does so daily and within a few minutes.

Business Manager

is an accurate program that integrates with our very difficult operating system, allowing easy claims processing, monitoring and corrections or resubmissions as needed

We had been customers for 10 years, back when it used to be Navicure.

Waystar is much easier to use than our previous clearinghouse.  

Manager

Good tracking of claims and errors in those claims to fix.  

Their customer service through email option, even though is very efficient, it takes a couple of days to receive an answer back, and some issues need to be resolved faster than that.

lead

I like that we are able to check eligibility and check that claims were submitted and received by the payer.

A few months ago, we were able to get someone to help over the phone after a few minutes of hold, and lately, their call hold time exceeds 45 minutes to an hour sometimes.

Chiropractor

They make sure everything within a claim is correct before submitting it to insurance companies, and are always ready to assist you when necessary.

Pediatric Biller

This saves a huge amount of time and minimizes errors by resolving claims issues directly via Waystar.  

Billing Specialist

I can normally verify coverage easily, able to get detailed information needed for patient's insurance coverage

Technology Integration Analyst

Having the ability to check eligibility without going to a payer portal is a game changer.

This feature assures the user that their claims will be billed in a time sensitive way.

coding/billing

I like the fact it adds another layer of check to claims before they are sent to the insurance carriers.  

Main biller

end up having to delete everything to zero and redo it all even adding the payments back it.

Hearing Instrument Specialist

Claims get submitted with ease and if there is an issue, we are notified right away.

Business Office Coordinator

Waystar covers the needs for our billing claims with ease.

Billing/Authorizations

Signed up for the denial tracking but I am not finding it as useful as I thought I would.

Claims management & remittance are most used by our company.

In general I feel things run fairly smoothly with Waystar but when they *don't* I feel it is hard to get help or clarification on issues.

Overall, Waystar is an excellent tool for Medicare and non Medicare Billing, user friendly and very dynamic.

Administrator

New features and functions that are added require additional fees.

Certified Medical Biller

Waystar use to sign up the payers for us and now I have to print forms, get them to Waystar etc etc.

Biller

Extremely important for claim processing and revenue.

Thus ensuring clean claims and less denials.  

Claims processing has too many categories, somethings should be combined - ex. professional claims and institutional claims data, reports, etc.

Sometimes it has transaction error, but that is okay.
