Hospital bills are a huge problem… obviously
We redesigned the patient billing experience to be transparent, accessible, and actionable. This resulted in improved visibility and increased payment rates. By giving patients the ability to understand their charges, explore payment plans, and self-service across devices, we helped keep hospitals from sending bills to collections for pennies on the dollar.
Standardization, accessibility and scalability through design
By the time I joined, Simplee had secured a substantial first-mover advantage and was already leveraging its data to differentiate on the business side. However, the consumer experience still had a long way to go. The UI was a patchwork of overlapping patterns, legacy components, inconsistent visual treatments and, from time to time, even broken experiences with dead ends.
This fragmentation created unnecessary overhead across product, design and engineering. In this case it also caused friction for patients. When billions of dollars worth of transactions move through a system, anything that slows or prevents users from completing their task can quickly add up to millions in lost revenue. One of my first priorities was to stop the compounding UX/Front-end debt while bringing consistency, accessibility, and structure to the platform.
To address this, I audited the existing platform and outlined common patterns and components that we could apply across the board. We knew we wanted to account for ADA compliance and introduce a mobile experience so considerations were made to ensure that the app was responsive and allowed for additional accessibility needs.
