Paper Based Solutions
DANTOM truly understands the unique needs of patient statements and the healthcare revenue cycle, enabling it to develop products specifically to meet your requirements. DANTOM utilizes state-of-the art imaging and inserting technology to provide paper-based communication with a next-day turnaround. It offers a wide breadth of solutions including:
Dynamic Full Color
DANTOM offers dynamic full color statements and letters to create impactful communications. The ability to insert conditional content based on specific data fields - such as date of last payment, days overdue or facility - enables your organization to create personalized communication for each patient.
Graphic designers with statement expertise are available to assist your team in developing an intentional design to create actionable statements that generate a response.
No other company can offer the impact of full color with the intentional design, regulatory and security compliance and the expertise required by the healthcare industry and DANTOM's dynamic data filtering your communication is impactful and compliant.
Dynamic Black and White
DANTOM offers a variety of patient statement formats in cost-effective black and white. These include colored stock or envelopes, custom stock, shaded boxes for impact, simplex, duplex and multi-page statements. Regardless of your unique business requirements, DANTOM has the ability to create a flawlessly executed statement to meet your needs.
DANTOM Self Mailers
As postage costs continue to rise, lower-cost products can shield your facility from experiencing a negative impact. DANTOM Systems offers a range of self-mailing products that are a lower price point than a traditional statements and envelope.
While not appropriate for all types of patient communication, self-mailers from DANTOM are secure and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Your facility can rest assured that you will remain compliant while positively impacting your bottom line.
Multiple sizes and types are available, ensuring there is a product to meet your unique and specific communication needs. Products range in size from a double postcard bi-fold, up to an 8.5" x 17" tri-fold. Multiple paper stocks are available to further customize your patient communications.
Beyond cost, another benefit is the products’ relative novelty. Most patient statements are not sent in a self-mailer format.
Therefore, natural human curiosity causes many guarantors to open a self-mailer they might have otherwise ignored – enabling you to save money while boosting your open rate!
Adding self-mailer products into your patient communication mix can minimize the impact of ever-rising postage rates while boosting open rates and generating positive bottom line results.
DANTOM eCertified
eCertified from DANTOM Systems eliminates the need for your staff to manually fulfill certified mail. Instead, when using eCertified you can accomplish this requirement with no more effort than that needed for first class mail through DANTOM. Imagine certified mail without any forms, green cards or data to manually input to your system.
Electronic return receipts and signatures are transmitted to your software platform to update at the account level. The account level updates can be set to trigger workflow actions. For example, an account could be placed in a dialer campaign as soon as the return receipt is received. The net result enables you to collect money faster and at a lower cost.
Product Details
Documents to be sent eCertified are identified by letter code. A tracking bar also is printed on each letter. It contains the service level code as well as a unique mail piece identifier.
The Daily Certified Return File is uploaded to the DANTOM SFTP site daily, using the same process as other DANTOM daily reports. The USPS provides the signature file weekly and it also is uploaded to the DANTOM SFTP site for download.
ConclusionIf internal processes or regulatory requirements necessitate sending certified mail, the most efficient way to remain compliant is DANTOM eCertified. Automating your certified mail eliminates a manual process and enables your team to complete higher level tasks while the system triggers the next action on the account. eCertified will have a positive impact on your bottom line.
Electronic Delivery
eNotice
As e-mailing patient statements increases in usage, many leading providers are turning to a trusted statements partner, DANTOM Systems, to implement their e-mail statements strategy. eNotice provides functionality that is specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of the healthcare revenue cycle industry.
Avoid third-party disclosure
Since e-mail is not a secure method of communication, sending information that is not encrypted is a security breach that could easily lead to a lawsuit. DANTOM Systems sends all e-mailed patient statements as an encrypted PDF. The body of the e-mail notes that a letter regarding a personal business matter is attached and should be opened only by the guarantor. A shared password, such as date of birth or ZIP code, is required to open the PDF.
Responsible party opt-in
It is recommended that you receive recorded verbal, electronic or written permission BEFORE any patient statements are sent by e-mail. DANTOM eNotice can provide an integrated opt-in system. DANTOM eNotice also automatically offers the guarantor the ability to opt-out of e-mail communication and retains a record of this for you.
Monitoring e-mail delivery
eNotice automatically monitors e-mail patient statements for bounces, ignored e-mails and guarantor opens. Similar to NCOA hits, DANTOM provides your patient accounting system with invalid e-mail addresses. The system has a user-defined option to mail a duplicate patient statement if your e-mail should bounce or be ignored. You can rest assured that all communication is received by the guarantor, enabling you to remain compliant with communication requirements.

Of course, before beginning any new communication method with patients, you should consult your attorney for legal advice.
