Datatel Announces Strategic Alignment With Sphere to Help Businesses and Organizations Cope With COVID-19 Staff Disruptions and Facilitate 24/7 IVR Payments

How IVR Payment Solutions Can Help Healthcare Providers Create Efficiency

​​​​​​​​​Datatel Communications Inc., a leader in IVR Payments / Pay-By-Phone, today announced a collaboration with Sphere, powered by TrustCommerce. Together, they will be formulating solutions designed to help healthcare providers rapidly and cost-effectively deploy Pay-By-Phone solutions as a means of responding effectively to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 has dramatically impacted the healthcare provider’s ability to respond to its patient phone inquiries, handle payment calls, and maintain PCI compliance and data security. An increasing number of healthcare providers’ employees are working from home, potentially seriously compromising patient service and payment security, due to the on-the-fly re-architecture of business and security processes that today’s rapidly changing developments have made necessary.​ DatatelPay-By-Phone xPress-RELIEF, integrated to the Sphere technology platform, provides healthcare providers with a wide array of IVR Payments options. These include 24/7 patient self-service phone payments and agent-assisted for those healthcare providers that still require the involvement of an agent/staff member in the patient engagement process.

Our collaboration with Sphere builds on our capabilities to help healthcare providers rapidly responding to changes in their business operations due to disruptions caused by COVID-19. We provide superior solutions to optimize their revenue life cycle management across their voice channels.
