Accurate, Real-Time Cost Estimates for Patients
Parathon’s Patient Responsibility Estimator is an advanced cost estimation tool designed to provide clear, accurate insights into what patients owe for healthcare services. By combining real-time eligibility and benefits data from both Commercial and Medicare payers with billed charges from submitted claims, the estimator re-prices each service using Parathon’s powerful Payer Contract Management Re-Pricer Engine.
This ensures patients receive estimates based on actual contracted rates—delivering transparency and building trust before care is delivered.
