The Queen's Health Systems in Honolulu partnered with AccessOne, a Fort Mill, S.C.-based provider of patient payment options.
Through the partnership, AccessOne will offer patient financing services to The Queen's Health Systems, an organization consisting of 575 acute care beds and 1,600 physicians throughout Hawaii, according to a news release. AccessOne patient payment options include opt-in financing with no-to-low interest options for patients, and allowing patients to make adjustments to their financial arrangement.
"We provide 24/7 care to our community and are a major referral source for the surrounding regions. We've promised the people of Hawaii a safe place to come, learn and heal," said Lehua Pate, director of corporate revenue cycle for Queen's. "And part of that safety is knowing there are resources to help them with their financial responsibility for services they receive. Our mission is to improve our patients' well-being, and our partnership with AccessOne will help us to fulfill our mission as it relates to the financial aspect of the care we provide to our patients."
