How it works

Three steps to a paid bill.

Record the bill. Patient chooses Pay in 2 or Pay in 3. You get paid upfront — we handle the rest.

  1. 1

    Record the bill

    Capture the patient's shortfall in seconds. No portals to log into, no forms to file, no debtors to chase.

  2. 2

    Patient pays in 2 or 3

    They split it into interest-free instalments charged automatically to their card, timed to their salary dates. No lengthy approvals.

  3. 3

    Get paid upfront

    Get paid within days — we keep a small percentage as our fee and handle everything else. We collect every instalment and run the whole process, so chasing payment is never your job again.

Why practices choose betternow

Three reasons it works.

Paid upfront

Stop waiting 30–90 days for shortfalls. The bulk of the bill hits your account within days.

Collection is on us

Once you're paid, the entire collection process is ours. If a patient misses a payment, chasing it is our job — not yours.

More patients say yes

When cost stops being the barrier, more recommended treatments go ahead. Better care, fuller books.
