Naugatuck Valley Radiology Associates Successfully Deploys the Royal Patient Experience with a Full-Suite of Patient Engagement and Payment Technologies from Royal Solutions Group, LLC

SOUTHBURY, Conn., May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Naugatuck Valley Radiology Associates (NVRA) has taken patient engagement to the next level by deploying Royal Kiosks™ for patients and technologists, RoyalPay® and Royal Alerts™.  The solution immediately draws patients into the scheduling process and allows them to pre-register days in advance of their exam. Additionally, they can access test results and images after their exams, securely communicate with the office and view and pay their bill online, all from the comfort of their home or on the go. When onsite, the patient can check-in via Royal's state-of-the-art point-of-sale terminals. In 1-3 minutes, patients are checked-in and ready to start the most critical aspect of their visit – managing their health. 

The patient engagement strategy dovetails seamlessly with NVRA's implementation of RoyalPay®, completed in November 2018.  RoyalPay®, the secure, web-based, payments engine, allows clients to eliminate manual eligibility checks and complex payment calculations, while greatly increasing time-of-service payments. Increasing time-of-service payments increases daily cash flow, while the enhanced patient payment options and collaboration tools used between teams securing prior authorization yields numerous downstream financial benefits including reduction of overhead, invoicing, and collection activities allowing NVRA to benefit from an almost instant ROI.
