RevSpring's Let's Talk™ Now Helps Patients Establish Payment Plans They Can Afford Through Conversational AI

New capability gives patients flexibility to manage healthcare expenses through self-service

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RevSpring, a leading provider of healthcare engagement and payment solutions, today announced that Let's Talk™, its conversational intelligent virtual agent (IVA), now enables patients to establish payment plans over the phone. Integrated with PersonaPay™, RevSpring's Best in KLAS® patient payment portal, Let's Talk gives patients another convenient, self-service way to manage healthcare expenses. Because Let's Talk uses the same decisioning engine that powers PersonaPay, payment plan options are aligned to what each patient can afford, ensuring consistency across voice, digital, and staff-assisted channels.

For decades, RevSpring has automated healthcare payment conversations by phone, consistently reducing call center volume for billing and payment questions by more than 30%. RevSpring's voice platform handles more than 1.2 million inbound payment calls a month for hundreds of provider organizations and thousands of care locations. Let's Talk builds on that foundation with conversational AI, expanding the range of interactions patients can complete through self-service, such as call containment, making a payment, answering questions, or responding to RevSpring's outbound voice reminders.

"Healthcare organizations are looking for ways to automate more patient interactions and improve financial outcomes without losing sight of the need for patient empathy," said Scott MacKenzie, chief executive officer at RevSpring. "Adding payment plans to Let's Talk expands what patients can accomplish through conversational self-service, helping more callers resolve their needs without transferring to a representative. We're building on years of proven payment automation to help providers improve efficiency and scale self-service across the patient financial experience."

Initial customer results demonstrate increased automation and self-service: transitioning from traditional voice automation to conversational AI. Results include:

• An increase in patient payment rates by 36% while lowering transfers to live agents by 27%.
• A reduction in the average call duration by 25%, demonstrating how a conversational experience enables patients to self-serve faster.
• An additional 7% of calls with non-payment requests resolved. This represents additional call containment over and above the traditional interactive voice response (IVR), demonstrating the power of a conversational AI to reduce staff burden by expanding voice automation. 

Automated payment interactions also cost approximately 80% less than comparable staff-assisted calls, helping healthcare organizations lower operating costs while allowing staff to focus on interactions that require greater support.

Let's Talk extends beyond billing and payment. Patients can also get answers to facility and location questions, hours and directions, and general call routing, resolving more patient inquiries in a single call.
