NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sphere, a leading provider of end-to-end integrated healthcare payments and security software, today announced it has joined with Saina Health to enable secure payment acceptance through its InstaHealth™ platform.

Saina's InstaHealth™ platform is an AI-enhanced Medical Record Interoperability Platform that facilitates instant aggregation and visibility of over 80 percent of medical records in the United States while fortifying them with best-in-breed standards for privacy, security, and compliance.

InstaHealth^TM allows patients to easily track, manage, and share the health of multiple family members in one portal.

Using Sphere's advanced encryption, payment data is safeguarded from the point of entry through transmission. Further, stored payment data is tokenized to reduce risk. All these highly secure solutions untangle payment workflow issues, improve the patient experience while keeping payment processing PCI DSS compliant in the InstaHealth™ platform.
