## The Problem

Patient responsibility balances for ASC Operations care pile up — statements get ignored, collections agencies damage the relationship, and the practice writes it off.

## What We Build in HST Pathways

AI segments patient balances by likelihood-to-pay, drafts personalized payment-plan offers from HST Pathways, and handles the digital payment flow — patient collections climb 40%. Purpose-built for teams running HST Pathways — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## HST Pathways Integration Approach

1. **Audit your HST Pathways configuration.** We map the specific HST Pathways objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your asc operations practice.
2. **Build on the HST Pathways API or agent.** Integration happens inside HST Pathways — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in HST Pathways with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
