About Health Payment Systems, Inc. (HPS/PayMedix)

Health Payment Systems, Inc. (HPS/PayMedix), is redefining how people access and pay for healthcare. We bring together provider networks, payments and financing, and industry partners to remove financial barriers and simplify the healthcare experience for everyone involved.

Our team is solving one of the biggest challenges in healthcare: the flow of money and information between providers and consumers. The work we do improves access, reduces financial stress, and is reshaping how healthcare works at its most fundamental level.

Our solutions include:

• HPS Network: a high-performing, independent provider network in Wisconsin that helps employers control costs while maintaining strong access to care.
• PayMedix: a national healthcare payments platform that pays providers in full, consolidates medical information and billing, and offers members interest-free financing for all in‑network costs
• TempoPay: a flexible healthcare benefit solution that gives eligible individuals a simple, predictable way to pay for care over time, with zero interest or fees.

Join us in our mission to make the healthcare payments experience simpler, more transparent, and more connected – so people can focus on getting care when they need it, not when they think they can afford it.
