What do you like best about Waystar?

as a billing clearing house they are relatively effective. Not too many complaints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

Over the past 10 years that I have had to use Waystar since it is part of my EHR, I have had bad experience with customer service reps. For as long as I can remeber, I have dreaded to call them up with a problem. Consistently, every time I had to call customer service reps are annoyed that I dare to bother them,.Their answers are so brief, that you have to have a follow up question, which annoys them even more. Then you get misleading answers. Then they argue about what you actually asked and what they told you. It is like you are dealing with little kids who hate to go to school and consitenly are annoyed at the teacher asking them questions. It seems like there is no training on how to be helpful to their paying customers and how to effciently get problems resolved. For the past 10 years I have begged my EHR to please let me choose a different clearing house. I have dealt with many billing clearing houses, Absolutly all of them have better customer service then Waystar. I have thought about tapinga phone call and sending it to Saturday Night.

What do you like best about Waystar?

Like every other clearinghouse they submit claims electronically efficiently. There are much better options that do not require hours and hours on the phone and emails trying to get overcharged invoices corrected. Only to be told you will be issued a credit for the billing errors that do not happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

Waystar overbills clients for services provided and does not adhere to their contractual obligations regarding their client invoices. Our contract clearly states fees will be billed $87.50 PER PROVIDER. SUBSCRIBED FOR 2 PROVIDERS. Since January 2023 we have received 6 of 12 invoices where we were overbilled for 3-4 providers. We only have 2 rendering providers at our office. Numerous attempts to resolve this issue with Waystar both by phone and email wth no recourse. Waystar offered in May and June to credit and correct invoicing errors but to date has still not credited our account for overpaid invoices. On November 21st Robert Swank with waystar said he was authorized by his manager to offer a”two month good will courtesy credit”. But once again, Waystar fails to make their billing error and breach to contractual agreement correct. No credit for their overbilling has EVER been applied to our account as promised and continues to overcharge our TWO providers for their service. I have been in the medical billing industry for over 30 years and have never had a clearinghouse overcharge and then no keep their promises to correct their billing error. There are far better clearinghouse options that provide quality care without the battle of being incorrectly billed for services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

When the software works it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

When things are not working or not set up correctly trying to get any customer support or update on a support ticket just does NOT happen. I have even tried calling in to see if someone can actually assist only to be given a ticket number and told someone will look into it. Sometimes tickets go for weeks with absolutely nothing done. I thought it was supposed to get better with their "New" ticketing system but it is still the same poor customer service as before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

The only way to submit most medical claims is through a clearinghouse. They are a necessary tool but Waystar just does not do support for the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

I liked the ease of correcting claims and ability to print CMS forms. It has a lot of report options. I was able to review ERAs for each claim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

Make sure to read contract!!!! I signed up with Waystar using Valant and the subscription dates do not match up when it's time to cancel. I cancelled my Valant and Waystar account at the same time but because the contract with Waystar said I had to cancel 3 months prior to my term ending I am stuck with paying for Waystar for another year even though I do not use the software. So now my business is out over $1000 due to fine print. You would think that you would be able to cancel Waystar when you cancel the EHR you are using it for. Nope! I originally had written a positive review but after they would not let me out of my contract I am highly dissatisfied. I contacted customer support and was told it's a contract so I have to pay. If you plan on switching you need to know 3 months in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Waystar:

It is a good product just pricey for a one-person practice. Extremely dissatisfied with their contract fine print. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Submitting to secondary insurances without any hassle. Easy to correct claims and resubmit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

It is being able to download all of the payments at once and submit them to the EMR and get a good start on incoming payments. Electronic submission of primary insurances is simple. Waystar is one of our favorites because it is simple to use for verifications and reports. When used to check for active insurance coverage, for example, the findings are virtually quick. Waystar is also used to check payments and print electronic EOBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

Information on insurance payors is restricted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems include determining the correct payors and determining which companies are loaded and which are not. Benefits include having a single point of contact for most insurance coverages. The fact that it is convenient is a significant benefit. The company chose this tool because it allowed them to bill without having to post payments one by one and upload zero payments with simplicity. When trying to submit Medicare as a secondary payer, it's also a little tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

Being able to download the payments to post onto the EMR all at once! Seeing incoming payments ahead of time. Ease for electronic submission for primary insurances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

At times the payments are delayed and are not posted on the program and it could take days for it to show up. This causes a delay in posting and we have to keep track and keep checking back to see when that payment is posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Waystar:

I love the archive feature which allows me to archive payments I have posted to avoid confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Billing without having to post payments one by one and uploading the zero payments with ease are what made the company go with this program. It is also a little confusing when trying to submit Medicare as a secondary payer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

We like Waystar as it is easy to use for verifications and reports. Example - when using for checking for active insurance coverage - will have results almost instantaneous. We also use Waystar for checking payments and printing electronic EOBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

Limitations on insurance payor information. Waystar shows that a patient is covered but does not give always give accurate account info for the payor - for example, a patient having Forward health / BadgerCare shows having active coverage in Waystar. However, the payor we need to bill / load insurance under in our EMR system, such as Security Health Medicaid, is not indicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Waystar:

Great product - we use it daily but have limited payors. This resource will improve and continue to expand over time / with use. We also use Waystar for claims submissions, checking payments, printing electronic EOBs, and it is always accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems: identifying correct payors and which companies are loaded / others that are not. Benefits: having one place to verify - MOST of the insurance coverages through. Convenience is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waystar?

Our practice has come to relay on Waystar in so many ways. I do believe that one of the most effective ways, is in boosting our revenue. Waystar shows us in advance where our claim have issues that need attention before going out to the insurance companies, eliminating the denied or timely filing problems that we would otherwise would might not be aware of until it's too late to fix.

We eligibility function is most useful, instead of searching multiple websites for up to date insurance information, it's all in one spot, and easy to use.

Researching claim and seeing EOB's is another function that we use often when we have a dispute with insurance companies.

These are just a few of the many many functions you can find within Waystar that make it a ONE STOP SHOP for any practice who does their own in house billing and wants to keep on top of their revenue and all things related to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waystar?

I personally find it have to find something I dislike about Waystar. We have been a client for several years and have never had any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Waystar:

I would absolutely recommend Waystar to others. We had been using another company before changing over, and looked at a few different vendors, but none of them compared to the amount of services given that Waystar offered. We made the change a few years ago and have been very happy ever since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waystar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Waystar to correct claim before sending to the insurance companies of there are problems .

We review claims when insurance companies request monies be returned for duplicate payments.

We find insurance information and eligibility for patients who either can't find their card or didn't receive it yet from the company. There are also times when we need to know if a child was covered by insurance and who the PCP was on a certain DOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
